Dr. Dolittle has a zoo in the garden of his house in Puddleby. Filled with creatures of all sorts, it becomes a haven for mice, crossbred dogs, foxes, badgers, and any animal in need. Each animal has exciting adventures, and their own way of contributing to Dr. Doolittle‘s household.

I love the old-fashioned writing style and the simple stories. Each adventure is interesting and well thought out, keeping my attention through every chapter. Dr. Dolittle himself is a fascinating character, and I love reading about all his dealings with the strange and wondrous animals he meets.
