The
Story of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting, Michael Hague
Doctor Dolittle--a 19th-century English physician--has never been one
for worrying much. Even after his human patients desert him (when one too
many sit on one of the doctor's unusual parlor pets), he manages to convert
gracefully to animal medicine. Having mastered animal language along the
way (with the help of his caustic yet amusing parrot, Polynesia), he has
a good head start in his practice. Then, one cold, dark winter night, as
the doctor and his pets sit around the fire, a message arrives, via sparrow,
from Africa. A terrible epidemic has broken out among the monkeys, and
Doctor Dolittle is the only one who can save them. The beneficent physician
checks his money box--not a penny left. But the fate of Africa's ailing
apes lays squarely on his shoulders.
And so begins the delightful, whimsical adventures that are still enthralling
readers three quarters of a century after their original 1920 publication.
Hugh Lofting, winner of the 1923 Newbery Medal for The Voyages of Doctor
Dolittle, has more than a knack for storytelling. His ability to imbue
in his characters--human and animal--distinct, unique personalities is
remarkable, and his respect for the rights of all who share the planet
shines throughout. (Ages 9 to 12) --Emilie Coulter - Amazon.com School & Library Binding from William Morrow
