The Story AND The Voyages of Dr. Dolittle (Illustrated)

This is The Story of Doctor Dolittle AND The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle in one volume; complete, unabridged, and containing all of the original illustrations by Hugh Lofting, carefully rejuvenated.

The Story of Doctor Dolittle is about Doctor John Dolittle, a doctor who likes animals more than people when he discovers he can speak to animals in their own languages. He and some of his best animal friends set out to find adventures around the world, and that's exactly what he does!

The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle picks up where The Story of Doctor Dolittle leaves off. Bored with England, Doctor Dolittle seeks new lands, people and most importantly, animals. With a new helper and the reappearance of Bumpo, Chee-Chee, Jip and others, "The Voyages" is adventures on the high sea, new land, people, and animals. Doctor Dolittle is even crowned King, but you'll have to read it, or read it to your child to see how THAT happened.
