Walt Disneys 101 Dalmatians Reviews


  • Shirley Revill

    One of the favourites on my bookshelf for the children when they visit. Recommended.

  • Shirley Revill

    Loved by children of all ages.

  • Sharon

    I attended a lecture on the art of Little Golden Books, and found this delightful version of a childhood favorite available for sale. It is, of course, a highly condensed version of Dodie Smith's
    The Hundred and One Dalmatians, with delightful illustrations reminiscent of the beloved Disney movie.

    We see Pongo and Perdita, with the help of their animal friends, rescue not just their own puppies but many, many more from the clutches of Cruella deVil and her henchmen.

    Sweet little book.

    Read long ago as a child and then for my son.

  • Linda Klinedinst

    I have my very own Physical Hard Back Book of this - the same exact copy of this. I love this story. It is so cute and so adorable. The Illustrations in this book is so awesome.

    I never got to read this as a child so I finally got around to reading this one. I love this beautiful story.

    I give this book 5/5 Stars.

    Happy Reading :)

  • Mateusz Pośpieszny

    Stara, dobra klasyka 🐾😄

  • Nicole

    Why is Cruella selling the puppies to a circus?

  • Kat Ice

    Disney = Life!! love this

  • DivaDiane

    We got this from the library. My son has a much longer version in Italian, which is a little to difficult for me to translate, so I thought this would be a good substitute. It's very abridged, but it's meant to be for beginning readers. The illustrations are what you'd expect from a Disney Production.

    Tässä paksummassa kuvakirjassa kerrottiin elokuvan tapahtumat pilkun tarkasti. Aukeaman kokoiset kuvitukset olivat toteutettu hyvin ja ilmensivät piirroselokuvan tyyliä; aukeamilla oli muutama virke luettavana ja tarina pysyi hyvin koossa. Liiallista lyhentelemistä oli vältetty, kirja oli selvästi tarkoitettu luettavaksi jo isompien lasten kanssa.

  • Leah

    I did so enjoy the 101 Dalmatians when I was younger, mostly because it was a dog story. This book has the same art work/drawings as the movie. It was nice to read to my son, but not a favorite by any means. More nostalgia than anything for me.

  • Jenna

    Juonelliset suoristukset tapahtuivat tässä kirjassa hieman hassusti; kirjassa unohdettiin kokonaan mainita miksi Cruella de Vil tahtoi dalmatialaispennut tappaa! Oliko tässä joku käännösvirhe vai eikö nykylapset siedä sitä tosiasiaa, että koirien turkeista/nahoista tahdottiin tehdä takki?

  • The Celtic Rebel (Richard)

    One of the classic children's favorites based on the original book and the Disney movie. Loved it as a child, loved reading it to my children and now my grandsons. Great characterizations and great illustrations make it so enjoyable.

  • Kaethe

    I didn't even discover
    Dodie Smith until my twenties. But I loved this movie and book as a kid.

  • Jasmine from How Useful It Is

    Great book. My 3 year old loves it and often ask me to read for him at bedtime. I like reading it too.

    This book isn't anything amazing, but it's pretty good as far as movie retellings go. It remains fairly faithful to the movie even as it heavily condenses the story.

    The artwork almost looks like screencaps from the movie (other than the occasional wonkiness), but the book has two credited illustrators, and so they did an excellent job at capturing the look of the movie's animation.

    There's just one line that bothers me, and that's when Sergeant Tibbs first talks with the puppies. Out of all the stolen puppies the author could have picked to answer Tibbs, it was Lucky. I haven't watched the movie in awhile but Lucky is glued to the TV (and even in the artwork, he's at the very front). There is NO way Lucky would have been the one to answer Tibbs. (Which, I know it was one of the bought puppies in the first place, but...)

    Other than that issue, though, this retelling did a pretty good job at condensing the story while still keeping it interesting. The art can be a little wonky in a few places, but it mostly matches the movie well. While I'm not a huge fan of picture book retellings, I did want at least one for this movie, and I think it's the best one I've read thus far. Unless another one really catches my eye, my search is over.

  • Christy Roberts

    Was storming and I was tired but wanted to read some more so I picked this. Never read or saw the movie of this cause not big on Disney movies for most part especially cartoons. I have it a chance and was an ok didn't like Cruella at all.

    Cruella stole the puppies to make a coat but thinks to some animal friends and their parents the puppies made it home safe. The 15 original plus more to equal 101 altogether.

    Favorite part Cruella going over the hill.

  • Ly Nguyen

    I think this publication seemed quite interesting with an appealing plot. The story was well built, while the characters attracted the audience throughout their behavior and conversations. The images were well-presented at the same time, this further improved the appeal of the work to the audience.
    The content is quite fascinating and memorable. Overall, this seemed to be a worthwhile publication for me.

  • Siskiyou-Suzy

    This movie is nostalgic to me, so reading this gave me some of that. My little sister used to watch this every night before bed. Pongo and Perdita. The puppies in the barn. The puppies in the soot. I remember so well and it makes me heart feel so strange and full. Childhood could not be more precious.

  • David Slezák

    Pěkná dětská knížka s velkými a krásnými ilustracemi. Textu tam moc není, ale čtení na pár večerů je to pěkné. Z dnešního hlediska už jsou tam některé věci trochu retro (uhlířský vůz apod.)
    Škoda nesouladu v překladu knížky a filmu. Zejména jiná jména postav děti trochu mátly.
    I přesto se nám kniha líbila a považuji ji za nadprůměrnou.

  • Julieanne

    A retelling of the animated classic, this book skips the prologue in which Perdita and Pongo as well as their 'pet' humans meet and dives straight into the main portion from the puppies being born onwards. The illustrations represent the movie fairly well.

  • Lincoln Reedy

    Mom read this book to me one morning during floor time. I’m finally starting to let floor time and this book definitely helped. I kept my head up and looked at the pictures while on my tummy! I hope I can have 101 dogs one day!
