Description - The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting
Newbery Medal-winning adventure story recounts the good doctor's lively journeys around the world and exploits involving a sea monster, the language of shellfish, and a shipwreck on a mysterious island. Together with Jip the Dog, Polynesia the Parrot, and 9-year-old Tommy Stubbins, the good doctor sets off in search of a missing colleague. This Newbery Medal–winning adventure recounts the hunt for Long Arrow, the world's greatest naturalist, in treks that range from the Mediterranean and South America to the bottom of the sea. Thanks to the doctor's gift for conversing with animals, the travelers find a solution to every challenge, including a curious encounter with a sea monster and a shipwreck on a mysterious island. "Any child who is not given the opportunity to (meet Doctor Dolittle) and all of his animal friends will miss out on something important." - Jane Goodall, wildlife biologist and author AGES: 8 to 12
