“Nadia May has a great time hooting, greeting, barking, and grunting through this kick-off book in the famous children's series....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. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile

"There is poetry here and fantasy and humor, a little pathos but, above all, a number of creatures in whose existence everybody must believe....the first real classic since Alice." —Sir Hugh Walpole

Hugh Lofting was an officer in the Irish Guards during World War I when he found that writing illustrated letters to his children eased the terrific strain of the war that he felt so keenly. These letters became The Story of Doctor Dolittle, published in 1920. Since then, children all over the world have been reading the adventures of the animals’ own doctor. Lofting’s stories have been translated into almost every language, and excerpts from them are used in standard textbooks as examples of good writing for children.
