The good Doctor Dolittle, accompanied by his devoted animal friends, sets sail once again. This time it is a voyage of discovery, to learn the secret of the Shellfish language, and to teach Tommy Stubbins, the Doctor's young protege, all there is to know about animals and their languages. Choosing their destination by opening an atlas, closing their eyes, and touching the page with a pencil, they set off on the most amazing voyage.

Hugh Lofting's wonderfully whimsical story of a doctor whose love of animals allows him to learn their language and becomes a splendid "animal doctor"... with their help. And he even goes all the way to Africa to cure the sick monkeys...it's charming!

Doctor Dolittle, a little, lovable, old doctor, has so many animal pets spread throughout his house and garden that patients will not come to him anymore. As a result, he becomes poorer and poorer. But he occupies nearly all of his time as the animals' doctor, and soon discovers that he can talk to the animals; Jip the dog, Dab Dab the duck, and Polynesia the parrot.

Doctor Dolittle returns from his voyages and sets his house in order. This includes expanding his zoo to include a home for crossbred dogs and a club for rodents. Doctor Dolittle's Zoo is different from all others because there are no cages; the animals stay there voluntarily and are free to leave whenever they want.

Il personaggio creato con tanto successo da Lofting non poteva essere lasciato dopo solo un libro, e così vengono scritti e pubblicati una serie fortunata di libri in cui le avventure di Dolittle si arricchiscono di un altro protagonista umano, in cui facilmente i ragazzi possono identificarsi.

Questo personaggio, a cui si sono ispirate molto liberamente varie sceneggiature cinematografiche, è un medico a cui piacciono più gli animali delle "persone di riguardo". Pertanto, con l'aiuto del suo pappagallo Polinesia, impara presto a parlare tutte le lingue degli animali.
