The Story of Dr Dolittle

Talk to the animals with Hugh Lofting’s charming classic, *The Story of Doctor Dolittle*. John Dolittle is a respected physician who loves animals so much that his house is full of them—scaring away his human patients! When his parrot, Polynesia, teaches him animal languages, he becomes a world-famous animal doctor. Accompanied by his eclectic crew—including a two-headed pushmi-pullyu—the Doctor sets off on an adventure to Africa to cure a monkey epidemic. Full of whimsy, humor, and kindness, this delightful tale is a celebration of empathy and the bond between humans and the natural world.
