4.0 out of 5 stars Where's the Whippet?, October 16, 2004

This review is from: Wallace & Gromit: The Whippet Vanishes (Wallace and Gromit) (Hardcover)

I'm a big Wallace and Gromit fan, and a Whippet fancier so I thought I'd love this book. Though it was a cute story, I'm afraid the Whippet in the story did not look ANYTHING like a real Whippet, I don't know what they were were thinking of- they could have made some effort to reproduce a realistic Whippet. The Whippet club was listing this book in their "books on Whippets" section- Whippet fanciers who buy this book because they think they are going to see a Whippet are going to be very disappointed. Fun story, so I'll give it 4 stars for being entertaining, but the Whippet looked kind of like a Dachshund with long legs! Awful! I think they could have tried a little harder.
