Both have a particular quality of sweetness, but I Capture the Castle is glorious! and 101 Dalmations only goodish.Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-61222570867034833182012-01-09T14:59:06.887-05:002012-01-09T14:59:06.887-05:00Alex - I do love that name.

I just found out that Babe was a classic English novel before it was made into a movie about that faithful pig. <br /><br />Sandy - I don't always love books narrator by dogs (I wasn't a fan of The Art of Racing in the Rain), but I loved this one!<br /><br />Jeanne - I love that 101 Dalm. improved your view of dogs.
