And what does Hugh Lofting's _The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle_ (1920) have to do with reviews that are usually science fictional? A lot. There is plenty of children's literature that has elements of the fantastic. And if you are looking for a precedent, Baird Searles reviewed the first two Dolittle books in _Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine_ back in 1989, when Dell was reissuing the series.

A book designed for young kids, in general.
A doctor discovers how to talk to his animals, thanks to his rather intelligent parrot. This leads him to giving away the boring old mundane practice of human medicine and going to work on something that is a lot more suited to his pretty unique talents.
He ends up in Africa, along with some other adventures.

I am a huge fan of the original Hugh Lofting Dr. Dolittle and not this shallow abridged version. A good part of the story is cut and the history is mutilated.

Doctor Dolittle was a human doctor once. But he liked animals very much. Then when his pets grew many, people didn't like them and didn't visit him. But one of his pets taught him animal languages when he had almost no money. Then he decided he became an animal doctor.
This was the beginning of the adventure of Doctor Dolittle.

Hugh Lofting wrote this story in the letter ... Read More

The book I am going to do my report on is Doctor Dolittle. It is a book about an animal doctor. He has many pets but loves to get more. One day he went to Africa to heal all the sick monkeys. When he was coming home, he met the Pirates of Barbary. That's all! It was a good book and I recommend you read it.
