The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith

3.0

A wagging tail can mean so many things. Humans knows that it means a dog is pleased, but not what dog is saying about his pleasedness.

The Hundred and one Dalmatians is a cute and funny story about a Dalmatian family living with their "pets" Mr and Mrs Dearly. The two main characters Pongo and Missis (dalmatians) go on an 'adventure' across country to get their babies back while meeting many different dogs on their way (who help Pongo and Missis) and get into all kinds of messes and sorting them out again.

This was a sort of fun book, which I'm sure would many children love (and probably adults alike) and cherish everything within this story. But for me there were some bits and pieces that wasn't so sweet and I thought Missis was kinda whiny and not very bright while Pongo always seemed to know everything and being totally dominant of every situation (well there were exceptions but only very few).
