101 dalmatians book report
The Dalmatians by Dodie Smith. This is one of those books I could review with many hats on depending on what point of view I had read the book from. Or I could discuss the role of women and domesticity…it goes on. My first encounter with Dalmatians was at the cinema, it was my first film and my mum took me to see the live action one where Cruella falls in the poo.

The kids will remember that Dalmatian pups are born "spotless" — "lollopy creatures with clumsy feet. They will learn that Cruella de Vil's ear tastes like pepper and "she's enough to frighten the spots off a pup.
