Adventure

The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle

by Hugh Lofting

A doctor learns to speak to animals and immediately starts taking their complaints far more seriously than his patients’. It was written to be read aloud to children, and mostly still wants to be. Ask Clio sometime what she thinks he’d have made of her.
