Why do the animals love Dolittle so? Its because he can speak their language, and because he's the best animal doctor for miles around.

When the monkeys in Africa call on his aid, Doctor Dolittle sets off on an marvellous voyage, encountering bad-tempered kings, fearsome pirates and the mysterious pushmi-pullyu along the way.

Includes exclusive material: In the Backstory you can learn about the different ways that animals talk to each other!

Praise for The Story of Doctor Dolittle

A work of genius...a treat for us all

Nina Bawden, Evening Standard

There are few kindlier heroes in children's literature. And none to match his gift for understanding animals

Blake Morrison, Guardian

Any child who is not given the opportunity to make the acquaintance of this rotund, kindly and enthusiastic doctor and all his animal friends will miss out on something important

Jane Goodall (world expert on chimpanzees)
