The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle
Author: Hugh Lofting
Genre: Animal Fantasy
Plot: Dr. Dolittle is a doctor who can talk to animals and goes on an adventure to return several to their native Africa.
Verdict: Cute
My rating: 3 stars
I am assuming that 1923 and 1924 were lean years for children's books as there are no honor book in either year.
I thought that Doctor Dolittle is very cute. However, there is a bit of racism in the book when Dr. Dolittle meets the prince in Africa. For that reason, I would recommend screening the book before reading it with your children so you can decide if you are comfortable reading the book with them.
