The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle

Tommy Stubbins, a cobbler’s son from Puddleby-on-the-Marsh, is drawn into the remarkable world of Doctor Dolittle, the famous naturalist who can understand animals. As Tommy learns from the doctor and his animal friends, ordinary life opens into seaside mysteries, lively companionship, and far-reaching adventures. Full of old-fashioned charm, gentle humor, and a deep love of creatures great and small, this classic celebrates kindness, curiosity, and the courage to follow wonder wherever it leads.
