From PW:
HarperCollins Children’s Books has acquired world rights to 13 children’s books featuring the Labrador John Grogan wrote about in his bestselling memoir, Marley & Me.
I'm sorry, but gag me.

*My mistake. Apparently, there are already two Marley picture books in addition to the middle grade adaptation of the adult memoir.

Oh my god. If I see a child with a stack of those, I may lunge across the circ desk and forcibly replace them with vintage Mo Willems.

So I guess now we know how many times publishers think Marley can be adorably bad in children's books before people lose interest. And here I thought publishers lacked optimism...
