Just in time for the major motion picture Dolittle starring Robert Downey Jr. - soaring into theaters on January 17, 2020!
Journey into the world of Doctor Dolittle, the kind and eccentric naturalist who can speak with animals. Working with original author Hugh Lofting’s son, these books have been fully updated for the modern listener, all while retaining the full charm of the originals.
Rediscover the children’s literature classic with three novels from the beloved series!
Here are the good Doctor’s three exciting tales of world travel, beginning with his greatest adventure. In The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle, winner of the prestigious Newbery Medal, the Doctor and his young assistant, Tommy Stubbins, travel in search of the brilliant naturalist Long Arrow, culminating in a meeting with the most fabled creature of all, the Great Glass Sea Snail! The Story of Doctor Dolittle details how the Doctor came to learn the languages of animals and how he was called to Africa, where he meets the rarest of all beasts, the marvelous two-headed pushmi-pullyu! And in another African adventure, Doctor Dolittle’s Post Office, the Doctor establishes the only postal service in the world where birds deliver the mail!

The Story: These are the complete stories from volume one of the four book set. They are filled with history, science, fantasy, and Biblical references all woven together in an overall very non-offensive whimsical story that warms the heart and makes you smile. This book has become my go to for when things are stressful and I just need to relax and rest. An absolute gem.
So Whimsically Perfect!

At any rate, I found this version most enjoyable, and perfect for my particular purpose: namely, sleep! It’s a gentle, meandering tale, pleasant and interesting without being overly exciting or violent (an important quality, for me at least, in a bedtime story). The doctor and his animal and human friends travel around by land and sea, encounter people and animals both good and bad, make wonderful discoveries, run into problems and solve them. The doctor is unfailingly good, yet also human, and his friends care about him and try to help him, and he, them. Although I’m glad I listened to the story from the beginning, when I fell asleep and missed a bit, it didn’t feel terribly critical… I know I’ll listen to the whole thing again, and I’ll get all the bits eventually. 😉
James Langton is one of my very favorite narrators, and I knew he’d be perfect for this book... in fact, seeing that he was the narrator convinced me to buy it. His mellifluous voice is always a delight to listen to, and I enjoy the narrative choices he makes and the many different accents he gives the various characters. There is a humorous, whimsical quality to his reading here that is different from much of his other work. Delightful! 😊
A wonderful bedtime story!
