I believe that all Walt Disney stories have an underlying message and that is partly why I am such a fan of them. 101 Dalmations was no different. This stories follows the life of a wonderful family with two dalamtions dogs who end up having a great deal of puppies. However, there is a very mean lady who tries to steal these puppies and hurt them. The stories then continues on following them and the journey they go through. Along the way they encounter three bad men who are helping this mean lady try to steal them and how they escape form them. This story teaches children to never give up and that there are bad people out there so to be careful. In the end if you staty ture to what you know is right everything will work out. While the story might be to much for younger children, Walt Disney does an amazing job of incorporating humor to make a difficult subject manner still fun and enjoyable.
A young chapter book novelization of the Disney classic, with movie pictures included. I thought this might be one of the versions I read as a child, but apparently this one came out in 1991, so is just a smidge too late to have been the one.
