Synopsis

Offering an enchanting meeting with a truly lovable marmot, this work is suitable for ages 5-9. Born in captivity at London Zoo, Marmaduke is a marmot with a taste for adventure. Highly intelligent and quick-witted, if a little accident-prone, Marmaduke soon learns that his parents' true home is in Austria, where they were captured (as part of a wildlife conservation programme). Marmaduke decides to escape the zoo and travel to Europe to meet the rest of his family. Wittily and engagingly told, and enchantingly illustrated, "Marmaduke - The Great Escape" is a wonderful animal odyssey, full of excitement and adventure. Marmaduke is a charming character with enormous appeal for children: those between 5 and 9 will love reading this book themselves, while younger children will urge their parents to read the story to them again and again.
