The Story of Doctor Dolittle Even the crows that lived in the church-tower , vould caw and nod their heads. The house he lived in, on the edge of the town, was quite small; but his garden was very large and had a wide lawn and stone seats and weeping-willows hanging over. His sister, Sarah Dolittle, was housekeeper for him; but the Doctor looked after the garden himself. He was very fond of animals and kept many kinds of pets. Besjdes the gold-fish in the pond at the bottom of his garden, he had rabbits in the pantry, white mice in his piano, a squirrel in the linen closet and a hedgehog in the cellar.

ORG - - There are some of us now reaching middle age who discover themselves to be lamenting the past in one respect if in none other, that there are no books written now for children comparable with those of thirty years ago. I say written FOR children because the new psychological business of writing ABOUT them as though they were small pills or hatched in some especially scientific method is extremely popular today. Writing for children rather than about them is very difficult as everybody who has tried it knows. It can only be done, I am convinced, by somebody having a great deal of the child in his own outlook and... Less

Dr. Dolittle can make kids’ dreams come true—the dream of talking to the dogs, cats, horses, ducks, and monkeys they love so much…and understanding what our furry friends have to say back. The magic begins as the kind physician discovers his special gift of communication— and switches from human to animal patients.

Hugh Lofting's follow-up to his popular children's book "The Story of Doctor Dolittle", "The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle" continues the saga of Doctor Dolittle, the man who can talk to animals.

Together the two set out to find Long Arrow, the greatest naturalist in the world, in an adventure that takes them to Mediterranean, South America, and even under the sea.

Doctor Dolittle heads for the high seas in perhaps the most amazing adventure ever experienced by man or animal. Told by nine-and-a-half-ye ar-old Tommy Stubbins, crewman and future naturalist, the voyages of Doctor Dolittle and his company lead them to Spidermonkey Island. Along with his faithful friends, Polynesia the parrot and Chee-Chee the monkey, Doctor Dolittle survives a perilous shipwreck and lands on the mysterious floating island. There he meets the wondrous Great Glass See Snail who holds the key to the greates mystery of all.
