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. An AUDIOFILE Earphones Award winner. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Book Review
Doctor Dolittle--a 19th-century English physician--has never been one for worrying much. Even after his human patients desert him (when one too many sit on one of the doctor's unusual parlor pets), he manages to convert gracefully to animal medicine. Having mastered animal language along the way (with the help of his caustic yet amusing parrot, Polynesia), he has a good head start in his practice. Then, one cold, dark winter night, as the doctor and his pets sit around the fire, a message arrives, via sparrow, from Africa. A terrible epidemic has broken out among the monkeys, and Doctor Dolittle is the only one who can save them. The beneficent physician checks his money box--not a penny left. But the fate of Africa's ailing apes lays squarely on his shoulders. And so begins the delightful, whimsical adventures that are... |

Book Description
A collection of 38 imaginative, mysterious, bizarre and down right silly poems illustrated in fully color with some of Hugh Lofting's finest artwork. In this volume the Porridge Poet fires the imagination, enticing you to wonder why Mr. Beers is digging a tunnel down to China, and what the Chinese think of that? What other adventures the Pirate of the Kitchen Sink might have besides terrorizing innocent cups and saucers? And just what tales is the Palm Family whispering about at the edge of an African Lagoon? A Foreword by Christopher Lofting, The Man Who Spoke to Animals, offers an insider's view of Hugh Lofting's idiosyncrasies and tidbits about the author's personal ties to the delightful characters that emerged from his imagination.
