Hundred and One Dalmations
Has anyone else read the book? I found it in a used book store when I was eight or nine and just read it to pieces. It's so much better than the movie--more characterization, a more intricate plot, and more "doggy" dogs! More realism, too, like the humans having to get a foster mother (Perdita) to help Missis feed her fifteen puppies.
Plus the illustrations are fantastic!     The reason the puppies look so big in that last picture is that they were all stolen at different times and a lot of them were half-grown already.  ~LM~ Last edited by LM1313; April 1st, 2006 at 11:13 PM.

I read it years ago and liked it much better than the Disney version. I'd forgotten how good the illustrations were.
I loved the original "Rescuers" set, too. I don't know if it was the same author or not, but the illustrations I remember are very similar.

I loved the book!! Although I saw the movie first, I loved the book so much more, and when I watched the movie again, I was sooooo dissapointed by it. After reading it, I asked for the booktape for my birthday ( I think I was about 8 at the time) so that I could listen to it as I fell asleep each night!
