No one loves and understands animals like the eccentric nineteenth-century physician Dr. Dolittle—who masters animal language with the help of Polynesia the parrot. After his human patients desert him, the kind-hearted doctor finds his calling in practicing animal medicine, and his fame spreads far and wide. When a terrible epidemic breaks out among monkeys in Africa, Dr. Dolittle sets out to save them, accompanied by some of his favorite pets. Thus begins the amusing, whimsical adventures of Dr. Dolittle and the animal kingdom. Hugh Lofting, winner of the 1923 Newbery Medal for The Voyages of Dr. Dolittle, has a gifted knack for imbuing unique, distinct personalities in his characters—human and animal alike.

      Nadia May has a great time hooting, greeting, barking and grunting through this kick-off book in the famous children's series. Her distinctive British intonations fit in perfectly with the settings and premises of Hugh Lofting's tale of an English country doctor who develops the ability to speak with animals in their own languages. May attempts to give each animal its species-specific voice, and she succeeds with enthusiasm, levity and gaiety. One can picture a circle of eager, young faces drinking in this incredible and colorful tale. D.W. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
