The Story of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting

This beloved classic somehow didn't make it into my hands as a child. I know movies have been made out of it, but somehow those passed me by as well. So, when this showed up on a free eBook site it seemed to be a natural to fill the once-a-month classic or new-to-me bestselling author requirement I've placed on myself this year.

Doctor Dolittle, although trained as a medical doctor, turns veterinarian when he develops the unique ability to talk with animals. This leads to many exciting adventures in faraway lands. If you missed this children's classic as well, I thoroughly recommend letting your inner child out and enjoy this gentle read! 204 pages.
