With their human owners, the Dearlys, to look after them, they lived in a comfortable home in London with their 15 adorable Dalmatian puppies, loved and admired by all.

So, when the puppies are stolen from the Dearly home, and even Scotland Yard is unable to find them, Pongo and Missis know they must take matters into their own paws!

I won't rate this because it's a children's book and I'm obviously not the intended audience, and I think that's a big factor in my enjoyment of this. I thought it was fun, and I could really see myself as a child LOVING it! The detailed way that the dogs think, and how the communicate would have been something my imagination would have run away with, and the grad adventure mixed with the horrible villain would have had me on the edge of my seat. As an adult, my enjoyment mostly came from
Such a beautiful children's tale. You can watch my full review here - http://youtu.be/a7r_SJLOrJo
A good fun adventure story, lots of peril on the dogs journey. Quite educational too, lots of tips on how to look after dogs, did you know a big male Dalmatian loves to be punched? The book has one major difference to the movie, in the book it is Pongo and Missus, Perdita is there but as a minor character, I found I had to keep explaining to my daughter that perdita was a different dog. There was one other thing that kept bugging me during the book... the maths... I was sure there were only 100
This post is part of the 2015 Classics Challenge.Like many other much-loved humans, they believed that they owned their dogs, instead of realizing that their dogs owned them."Cruella de Vil is enough to frighten the spots off a Dalmatian pup. But when she steals a whole family of them, the puppies parents, Pongo and Missus, lose no time in mounting a daring rescue mission. Will they be in time to thwart Cruellas evil scheme, or have they bitten off more than they can chew?WHEN I Discovered This
Read aloud to me on late spring evenings by my nostalgic nineteen year old daughter - this is NOT the Disney version. Completely charming with a Beatrix Potteresque realism added to the animal characterizations of Pongo and Missis...and Perdita, who is quite a different character from the film version. This makes a wonderful read-aloud and many children would enjoy it, however --- Cruella de Vil is truly evil and her casual talk of drowning many kittens and pups would be disturbing to many
Such a nostalgic, delightful read! Glen Close as Cruella de Vil was a highlight of my childhood. To be clear the story is actually about a family whose dalmatian pups have been stolen in order to make a fur coat and of course, I'm aware that justice needed to be served to the perpetrator. But what I fell in love with as a child was the absolute crazy that is Devil Woman. The gender politics of this book are exactly what I expect from a novel written in the 1950s. Even if our heroes are dogs,
