The Voyages of Dr. Dolittle
Overview & Summary
The eccentric, animal-loving Dr. John Dolittle -- who has learned to speak the languages of animals -- sets sail on a series of voyages with his young assistant Tommy Stubbins, encountering floating islands, imprisoned princes, and giant sea snails along the way. Hugh Lofting's whimsical adventure won the Newbery Medal and helped establish the enduringly popular character of the doctor who talks to animals.
