Smith Dodie : Hundred and One Dalmatians(New) mode (Puffin story books) NEUF

The book that inspired the animated movie classic!



When Dearlys 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
