Description
Inspired by the author's rescue pit bull, this follow up to Marlo is another stunning oversized picture book with a playful seek-and-find element for readers to pore over. Perfect for fans of Aaron Becker's Caldecott Honor-winning book Journey and parents who loved Jurassic Park.
When Marlo wakes up from his afternoon nap, he spots something curious. . . .
His investigation brings him into a lush jungle, where a whole new world full of colorful dinosaurs of every size awaits him.
With clever seek-and-find elements on each spread, this book is a feast of imagination and visual delights.

Reviews
"Much like Aaron Becker's Journey, kids will love poring over each page of Browne's latest; the breathtaking vastness of each scene is matched only by the vivid details that make them come to life...Highly recommended" - School Library Journal "A charming testament to the imagination." - Booklist "Marlo's escapades may leave readers fantasizing about what their own pets might get up to when no one is looking." - Publishers Weekly Praise for MARLO: "Transforms a simple bath into an underwater epic...with a deft minimalism recalling Charles Schultz or Mo Willems...Dripping with delight." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Praise for MARLO: "Vivid, engrossing...Bring a friend and dive in!" - Booklist
