This review is from: 101 DALMATIANS (Hardcover)

i highly object to altering a CLASSIC story to suit the faint-hearted. i grew up with the evil Cruella turning the dogs into fur coats and i did not become a serial killer or a fur-coat wearer. when i read this story to my child i'm always tempted to improvise the story to what it should be but Cruella doesn't even have the black and white fur coat which is her trademark! insanity. this book must go and ye old classic will replace it

This review is from: 101 DALMATIANS (Disney's wonderful world of reading, no. 23) (Hardcover)

This book is Disney quality all the way. The story is different from the movie, but makes it much better for babies and toddlers. Who wants to explain Cruella wanting to make a fur coat out of the puppies to a two or three year old? Instead, this edition has her stealing the puppies to sell to the circus to become rich (cue goofy Austin Powers laugh). The length is great for a toddler, and what kid doesn't love dalmations. I can't count the number of times I've been asked to read this one.

This review is from: 101 DALMATIANS (Hardcover)

This is a Disney book, but they really change (for the worse) the story line compared to the movie. Instead of collecting the dogs for fur coats, Cruella is getting them to sell to the circus. There are several other changes to the story. Most for the worse.

Buy some other 101 dalmatians book.
