Doctor Dolittle

Description

Jam-packed with stories from the wonderful Dr. Dolittle, this amazing series is sure to be attractive to animal lovers of all sorts. Dr. Dolittle doesn't just know a lot about animals because he studies or lives with him. He actually learned how to talk to them. He discovered that every animal speaks a different language, and then he set out to learn as many languages as he could. This naturalist not only helps animals with physical and medical needs, but he can even help them mentally and personally when he can speak their language with them. This well-admired man, though knowledgeable, doesn't have the physical build of a powerful or strong man. He is a short and pudgy man with a friendly manner and countenance. Join him on his adventures across the world to discover and help animals in need, learning a bit about his language learning methods. Each of the books in this series include three titles. Also available is a boxed set containing all four combined volumes. Each book has an average of 807 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
