Little by little, Dolittle learns the language of different animals and becomes famous among farmers and among all animals.The money he had earned as a doctor is gradually running out in his care of the different animals and later he finds out from some migratory birds that there is a disease that is decimating the monkeys in Africa. With a borrowed ship he embarks to Africa to cure them. There he must face a challenge at the hands of the king of the Yolinki and the disease of the monkeys and the lack of money on his return to Puddleby.

The Story of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting

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.

Doctor Dolittle''s Return is lighter and more comic than other Dolittle books. Tommy Stubbins waits for Doctor Dolittle''s return from the Moon. When the Doctor returns he is anxious to write of what he has experienced. This proves more difficult than expected. The poignancy of the doctor''s lunar experiences is juxtaposed with his hilarious attempts to be put into jail so he will be free of all responsibilities and will be able to write his book. Hugh John Lofting was a trained as a civil engineer and author who created the character of Doctor Dolittle; one of the classics of children''s literature. Hugh Lofting''s doctor from Puddleby-on-the-Marsh who could speak to animals first saw light in the author''s illustrated letters to children, written from the trenches during World War I when actual news, he later said, was either too horrible or too dull. Eight more books followed, and after Lofting''s death two more volumes, composed of short unpublished pieces, appeared. The series has been adapted for film and television many times, for stage twice, and for radio

In this first book in the series, Doctor Dolittle discovers that he can talk to the animals--Jip the dog, Dab Dab the duck, Polynesia the parrot. This was one of my favorite books as a child. I''m so glad it was available so I can share it with my niece Finley. She loves animals and I''m sure will enjoy reading about the good doctor who can talk to the animals.
