Poor Dr. John Dolittle is getting very low on money! He is a doctor who likes animals more than people. This is why he becomes an animal doctor. Soon his talking parrot, Polynesia, teaches him that animals have a language, and even how to speak it. This allowed him to understand the sick animals that get taken there, so he could give them the right stuff, like when a blind horse came in, he said he needed glasses, so that's what he got! The Dr. became famous for that. But chi-chi, the monkey, gets a message from monkeys in africa that they are sick and need the doc badly! So he and his buddies from other species sets out on a journey to africa, with only adventure awaiting them!
My favorite parts of it are the most exiting parts (boys always like excitement) like when pirates tried to attack them. I also liked the part about dr. doolittle learning animal languages and it would be fun if I had a dream about that. There were a bunch of funny parts, like for example in the learning animal language part, Polynesia says "If I say 'Polly wants a cracker' you understand me, right?" That's quite funny to me. And when Jip the dog was sniffing for a lost person and he kept smelling funny things from a long long way away from them.
I'd recommend this book for anyone who likes animals and perhaps humor too.
