I read this one with very few expectations, which is perhaps the best way of all to enjoy a story. I knew very little about the story besides what I remembered from a long-ago viewing of the Disney movies (both the cartoon-years and years ago-and the newer live action film) and from reading Disney picture books to my children. Since we’ve spent so much time in Lloyd Alexander’s Prydain or with Elizabeth Enright’s Melendy family this year (and enjoyed both so much!), this doggy romp through London and the English countryside was an exciting, entertaining, and very enjoyable diversion. Chronicles of Narnia Reading Challenge (74)ġ01 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith was our ninth or tenth chapter book read-aloud of 2014, and one of only four books for the year so far that isn’t a part of a series. ![]()
