Rating: Summary: I think this book was a great page turner. Review: I think The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting was a great book. There was a lot of adventure,sometimes in a matter of two chapters you would have gone from a bullfight in Mexico to a floating Island in the Atlantic. Every chapter was a new exciting tale of adventure. All the discribtions of place and people made you feel like you where there. The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle was about a boy who met a natralist. The natralist wanted the boy to come along on one of his adventures. On their adventure they ran into many obsicals which lead to even more different adventure. until finally they came to their destination. The natralist did some good deeds which he was rewarded for. Would they stay at the Island or return home. To find out you will have to read the book.

Rating: Summary: A Very Good Book Review: It's hard to beat this book for all-out imaginative craziness. Oddly enough, other than talking animals, there is very little fantasy in this book, rather, Lofting chose to make Dr. Dolittle and his surroundings a calm place, a place where the animals talk to him, a place where adventures happen, but where there is never any brutal violence, unlike the adventures of Alice in Wonderland or Dorothy in OZ (both of which I like, BTW). What is really nice is that Lofting was able to make this formula WORK! This edition, pink covers with a credit to Christopher Lofting, has been edited from it's original issue to remove some now offensive racial stereotypes and illustrations. I'm glad to say that, while I generally do not support this type of editing, in this case it was well done and did not subtract from the entertainment value of the book. Note: The original Dr. Doolittle books have almost nothing in common with the Eddie Murphy movies, other than talking animals. Don't get them confused! Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: It is exiting. Review: The animals are neat.The adventure was great.
Rating: Summary: A book full of wonderful imagination!!! Review: The book is a wonderful book. Hugh Lofting really knew how to explain all of his thoughts about animals to the people of the outside world. He had a great imagination of talking to the animals and we were lucky enought that he was willing to share all of his thoughts with us.

This is also a great book to read to children from
