On his many voyages, Doctor Dolittle stops by an African kingdom to help them establish their post office, and has the idea to start a post office for the animals as well. The birds have their own way of writing, which the Doctor helps them refine so they can write letters to each other. He is inundated with letters from animals all over the world asking for advice.

I enjoyed this funny story and all the hilarious antics of the animals! The characters are all so different and memorable, and the ridiculous situations the Doctor finds himself in always lead to some new discovery. The plot is interesting and kept my attention through the many different episodes. I really enjoyed the simple, old-fashioned writing style, and the compassion the Doctor extends to anyone in need.
