N2  -  Doctor Dolittle isn't a normal doctor … He doesn't treat 
       humans  -  he treats animals instead! He loves animals so 
       much that his busy house in Puddleby-on-the-Marsh is full 
       of every creature imaginable  -  from parrots to pigs, 
       monkeys to dogs and many more  -  and very soon he even 
       learns how to speak their language. The doctor's animal 
       friends are quick to tell him that the monkeys in Africa 
       have become infected with a terrible disease, so with a 
       team of trusty creatures by his side the kind-hearted 
       doctor sets off on an action-packed adventure to save 
       them.Hugh Lofting's The Story of Doctor Dolittle is one of
       the most fun, delightful and imaginative stories in 
       children's literature. Featuring the eccentric doctor who 
       learns to talk to animals, the novel has been adapted as a
       major film starring Robert Downey Jr., Emma Thompson and 
       Selena Gomez.
