Rating:

- Beware, this has been adulterated
Dr. Dolittle has fallen afoul of the PC police, well before they were so named. This edition is heavily adulterated to maintain political correctness. Unfortunately, you must read the afterword to understand this. A great story, a bad edition.

Rating:

- a classic for all ages
Dr. Dolittle is definitely a must-read for people of all ages, for children and for those who are young-at-heart. It is the story of a generous old man who seems capable of doing anything! All he wants to do is help, and he doesn't care if he loses all his money just to save monkeys in Africa from an epidemic. But the best thing about Dr. Dolittle is that he can talk to animals -- and this is probably every child's dream. And so read this when you're very young, read this to your children, and read this when you've forgotten what it is to be a kid. Because the quaint British way in which the story is told will keep you amused, while the crazy adventures of Dr. Dolittle and his conversations with his animal friends will keep your imagination rolling!

Rating:

- The Story of Dr. Dolittle
Dr. Dolittle is a very fun and enjoyable book. I encourage you to read it. This book has the most exciting and amazing adventures ever. You will have a blast learning animal language and reading this book. After this one be sure to read all the others like Dr. Dolittle in the Circus.

Rating:

- An excellent book but too easy and unexplained!
Doctor Dolittle is the story of a famous animal doctor from a town called Puddleby-on-the-Marsh. He has the amazing ability to talk with animals. One day, he is asked to go and help monkeys in Africa with a deadly disease. The story continues to unravel into a large, yet unexplained and jumpy adventure. Although we did not understand some of the parts, we enjoyed the book.

Younger readers would enjoy it more (Grades 3-4)
