Search - The Story of Doctor Dolittle

Originally written in 1920. The original Disney movie followed this book somewhat, the more recent movie did not follow it at all. The book is better than either movie. Through the agency of animal friends Dr. Dolittle learns to talk to the animals. His human friends are most unhappy with a house full of animal patients. So when Dr. Dolittle hears of a horrible epidemic among African monkeys he sails off to help - engendering and finding many adventures. The pushmi-pullyu and Tommy Stubbins are in this book as well.

Delightfully fun book to read with the children. Listed as a Sonlight read aloud.

FANTASTIC!! you will not regret reading this book, and will want to collect all of them in the series! my son could not put it down.
