The book that inspired the animated movie classic!

When Dearly's Dalmatians have their first litter of pups—fifteen in all—everyone is delighted. But their joy is shortlived, for the pups are kidnapped! Scotland Yard is baffled, but the keenest canine minds are on the case—and on the trail of Cruella de Vil, the most fiendish person to ever covet a fur coat.

Pongo and Missis would give everything they have to bring their puppies safely home... but will they succeed in rescuing them from the cluthes of the evil Cruella de Vil?

"A tale full to overflowing with those prime requisites of a good story—warmth and humor, imagination and suspense."—Chicago Sunday Tribune

"Superb reading. The puzzle of the hundred and one is delightful.... Highly recommended."—SLJ

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of the 101 dalmatians sound book
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2024
Verified Purchase
I wanted to get this book as a Valentine’s Day gift for my baby cousin Bella. I enjoyed sound books when I was a child ranging from infant through 10 years old. The book was delivered with great care, and the driver did an outstanding job. Even though the book was used, it’s still works great

Such a cute story about the doggies we love, who apparently own us.

Also, the story is so damn English that my glass of Diet Coke spontaneously changed to a porcelain cup of tea (with milk) while I was reading it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous book, much better than the movie!
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2008
Verified Purchase
This is one of those books I found as a child AFTER seeing the Disney movie and reading that it was based on a book. As usual, the book is so much better! If you've never read this book, but you're fond of the movie, or of dogs, you will love it. The story is truly heart-warming, and I love that certain scenes are oh-so familiar if you've seen the movie, but so much of the story is completely new! Did you know Perdita is NOT the name of the "leading lady"? That's all I'll say about the actual story, but please, read it for yourself, even if you don't have kids. It's a wonderful read-aloud book, too--the first time my husband ever heard about this book was when I made him lie down and let me read it to him. We didn't have a child then, so now we get to share it with our son, too. Truly, a wonderful book. However, just so you know--the second book is not nearly so good! I own both of them, but I probably won't read the second one more than one more time, when I read it to my son. It's just not at all the same thing--aliens in London? Anyway, read 101 Dalmations and I know you'll enjoy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The movies have nothing on this delightful story
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2003
Verified Purchase
We bought this audio book hoping to wean our young children (who enjoyed both movie versions of this book very much) off of movies and get them more interested in "real stories."
I have to tell you that this story far exceeded my expectations. Not only was it a fun story that my children enjoyed immensely, but one with subtleties, humor and bits of truth sprinkled throughout that had me listening and laughing right alongside them.
There are a lot of dog stories out there and I admit to being a dog-lover (well at least of big dogs), but this is a lot more than just a dog story. Certainly there's a great deal of humor, adventure and ... Dalmatians... but underneath all that you get many tidbits of truth that are applicable to life itself.
Martin Jarvis does a fabulous job in narrating this unabridged classic. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality paper, but good sized print
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 28, 2024

When I was a little girl, a previous edition of this book was my favourite book in the whole world. I still have it; it has been read to death, the spine is creased and some of the pages are loose, but I still love it!
My granddaughter is just 7 years old, and a proficient reader. I bought this new edition of the book for her to read, in the hope that she will love it as much as I do.
I have recently stopped reading 'real' books, and fully rely on my Kindle, as the print is too small in most books for my ageing eyes, but the print in this book is a great size. The only disadvantage to this is that the book is extremely thick as larger print = more pages. Also, the paper itself is really thick; almost like blotting paper or thick newspaper, so the book appears to be very cheaply made.
Having said all that, this appears to be the only edition of the book available to buy at the moment, and I was just glad to find one to buy, as I've been looking for a while!
Hope my granddaughter loves it like I do ;)

Le film était un vrai bon souvenir d'enfance, vu à sa sortie. Mais la découverte à l'âge adulte du texte original est une très heureuse surprise. Maintenant que je connais bien les chiens, ce livre prouve une vraie connaissance des races et des façons de faire des chiens. Un bon vrai texte en anglais qui permet de faire un peu de vocabulaire au travers d'une histoire écrite comme un mini thriller... Je recommande chaudement dans cette version originale.
