Review:
The magnificent Doctor Dolittle and his extraordinary exploits with animals are the stuff of pure legend, without which no child's bookshelf would be complete. Here, Olga Fricker has taken some of the most wondrous chapters from Hugh Lofting's 12 separate Dr Dolittle books, presenting them as a treasury that will surely delight children of all ages.
Review:
From the famous two-headed pushmepullme to the more familiar creatures the Doctor encounters on his amazing voyage across the globe, Doctor Dolittle never ceases to astound and amaze as his talent for talking to the animals gives rise to magical adventures that whisk the reader into a land of dreams.
Illustrated with original drawings--never before published--by Lofting himself, Doctor Dolittle Stories is an excellent introduction to the famous tales, but is equally as impressive as a collection in its own right.
