Just in time for the major motion picture Dolittle starring Robert Downey Jr. - soaring into theaters on January 17, 2020!

Journey into the world of Doctor Dolittle, the kind and eccentric naturalist who can speak with animals. Working with original author Hugh Lofting’s son, these books have been fully updated for the modern listener, all while retaining the full charm of the originals.

Rediscover the children’s literature classic with three novels from the beloved series!

Here are the good Doctor’s three exciting tales of world travel, beginning with his greatest adventure. In The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle, winner of the prestigious Newbery Medal, the Doctor and his young assistant, Tommy Stubbins, travel in search of the brilliant naturalist Long Arrow, culminating in a meeting with the most fabled creature of all, the Great Glass Sea Snail! The Story of Doctor Dolittle details how the Doctor came to learn the languages of animals and how he was called to Africa, where he meets the rarest of all beasts, the marvelous two-headed pushmi-pullyu! And in another African adventure, Doctor Dolittle’s Post Office, the Doctor establishes the only postal service in the world where birds deliver the mail!

Faithful production of the complete works about Dr. Dolittle.

Listening to this brought back wonderful memories of being read these books by parents and teachers. If you liked the movie version of Dr. Dolittle, this audiobook series will keep you or your children spellbound for hours.

So Whimsically Perfect!

Narrator: This is honestly such a big part of why this story is so enjoyable. This narrator is soothing and is able to make unique voices for many of the characters which adds so much to the story.

The Story: These are the complete stories from volume one of the four book set. They are filled with history, science, fantasy, and Biblical references all woven together in an overall very non-offensive whimsical story that warms the heart and makes you smile. This book has become my go to for when things are stressful and I just need to relax and rest. An absolute gem.
