About this listen

A grizzly bear walked all the way from the zoo to my front door and not a single person noticed him. I suppose it helped that it was night, and that he was wearing a big black duffle coat with an enormous hood that covered his hairy head. He knocked on the front door three times, loud knocks that shook the house.

Patrick makes his unexpected guest at home, while keeping him hidden from the neighbours, police and his very distractable mum!

Critic Reviews

'It can be a struggle to find books that will engage six-to-eight year olds, but one sure to capture their imaginations is Gerry Boland's debut, Marco Moves In.' (Sunday Independent)
'Boland certainly has a keen ear for a madcap narrative.' (The Sunday Business Post)
'Very touching and well written tales about a boy and his friend, a grizzly bear.' (The Irish Times)
'Gentle, funny tale of a humanised, friendly bear and a boy who needs a friend.' (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)
'A fun, delightful and gently subversive tale of friendship and finding a place where you belong ...' (The Bookbag)
