Sweet.

I love the story so much. Not a compliment or concern or comment, just saying in most of the books your Mrs. was actually Pandita. I don't care though, the classic tale! I love this!

Delightful

I have never read The 101 Dalmatians. Having watched the movies however, I was curious. I’m very glad I decided to listen to the story. It is very enjoyable.

cute

I loved this original. had to read it after finding out this is where Disney got his movie. Some was a bit much Like the surrogate mother and extra dog relationship situations...a bit yucky actually. but over all an enjoyable read.

A beautiful story with a warm heart

I read this book as a child decades ago and loved it then. I listened to it now and found that the story and style held strong. I still loved it. Yes, the story is a little dated, but it works well as is. I don't think it would work as well if it were modernized.

This book should be a childhood staple everywhere, even though it is EXTREMELY British. I strongly recommend this book for anyone with, or ever has been a child. It is very sweet.

Funny!!

I love Cruella Devil because she is scary and I love scary people. I read this book but my mom said that we couldn’t read this book😭
