wish I was doctor Dolittle sitelink
لكي تفهم لغة الحيوان لابد ان تأكل كبد تنين
هكذا تؤكد الأساطير
ففضول الانسان تجاه ما يقوله الحيوانات ظل مشتعلا عبر القرون
و تعددت القصص التي تروى على السنة الحيوان
sitelinkimage error A cute, funny children's book, A good reprieve from serious books, R: This book made me fall in love with books and reading lt

R: So, the last time I read this I was, like,and I loved it.
Now, at, I'm not it's not great. And this edition is an edited one, so the horrendous racism has been removed, so, thankfully, I didn't have to deal with that, It's a solid, flawed with good intentions, children's book, Okay, what I just heard last night which, I suspect, is just the beginning of the bad plus a number of the reviews I just read below make me VERY unhappy.
For example, Janet's review below says, "all of the Doctor Doolittle books have a racist quality, but it is never malicious, and reflects an attitude typical of England when the books were written.
" Also the people who say they are making it all better by simply skipping over the "highly racial epithets" Christina, the word you are looking for here is RACIST, not racial, but I'm not just talking about you.


The mind, it boggles,

I don't remember owning this book, but I know I read it more than once growing up and enjoyed it, Now, listening to it at night as I go to sleep thanks to sitelinkLibrivox, org's efforts, I am so distracted by the racism that I don't think I can get anything out of this anymore, It's a shame, because there are a lot of great ideas in the book, and I remember enjoying the adventure, but the price is way too high.


It is amazing to me that people can actually think that they are not reproducing racism and instilling racist attitudes in their children while counting this as good reading material.
This book turns out to be the dream book for me when it comes to a bit of fantasy, historical fiction, adventure all put together to recommend to young readers and for beginners who want to start reading, feel the magic of words printed on papers and spark their imagination on a whole new level!

I just wish I read this book while I was in school alongside my English textbooks.
I know that this would have been quite the book for me then!

But lament not I told myself as I closed the book a few days back as I could still enjoy the inevitable fun and enjoyment while reading this amazing younger middle grade classic.


It is the story of a not so popular doctor who later felt that his destiny was to help animals, explore far and wide to help more animals while he could.

He learned how to communicate with them from his parrot, Polynesia,

The book is really short and it is so easy to read, With the original illustrations here and there, it has been quite a reading experience! sitelink wordpress. com

First published in, The Story of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting is a childrens book classic, which has been enjoyed by many generations since it first released.
Most people will be familiar to this classic thanks to the screen revivals of this text, From Rex Harrisons musical, through to Eddie Murphys comedy and most recently, Robert Downey Jrs colourful reprisal, I didnt read The Story of Doctor Dolittle as a child, so it was a welcome experience to finally read this classic tale,

The Story of Doctor Dolittle is the story of a man who develops the unique ability to communicate and treat animals, Doctor Dolittle relates far better to his vast collection of animals than humans, With his home at PuddlebyontheMarsh populated with every animal imaginable, from monkeys, to hedgehogs, mice and crocodiles, this doctor relates to all creatures great and small.
When the renowned doctor is requested to travel to Africa to save a group of monkeys, he sets out on an unforgettable adventure,

I didnt realise that The Story of Doctor Dolittle is in fact the first book in a series of twelves issues, penned by author Hugh Lofting from the release of this first book in, through to Loftings death in.
The Story of Doctor Dolittle is a fantastical romp, providing a snapshot of times past, I enjoyed the innocence and frivolity of this classic tale,

The Story of Doctor Dolittle provides the reader with some grounding and backstory of the famed animal doctor, I was not aware that Doctor Dolittle began his time treating humans first, Dolittle must support his vast animal home and sister, but slowly he loses his human clients and they begin to slip into poverty, Dolittle is forced to sell items in his home such as his piano to feed his clan, Eventually, after this tough time, he realises his true calling, With the help of his loyal animal companions, Dolittle begins his work treating animals, They are some bright scenes involving the various animals that cross paths with the famous doctor, My favourite of the bunch was the wise parrot Polynesia, who overshadowed Doctor Dolittle at some points of the novel!

For those who enjoy high seas adventure tales, in the same tradition as Gullivers Travels, Moby Dick or The Jungle Book, I think Hugh loftings book will appeal.
From kings, princes, pirates, two headed animals and more, this action packed expedition will keep you amused, I read aMacmillan collectors library edition of Loftings original novel, I was aware of the racism present in the original edition, but my version ensured these aspects were glossed over, With illustrations taken from the first edition, I enjoyed the supporting pictures to this engaging text, However, what I appreciated the most about reading The Story of Doctor Dolittle was the Afterword supplied by Philip Ardagh, This extra material provides a fascinating insight into the making of this treasured book, We learn that Lofting was inspired to write Dolittle based on his Great War experiences,

So Lofting imagined a doctor who decided that it was equally as important to care for animal patients as human ones, He was, quite literally, for the underdog, It surely follows that the best way for a doctor relate to his patients would be to learn their languages, And so, Doctor Dolittle was born on the pages of Loftings letters home, The ongoing story embellished

with his simple drawings,

The language is simple and readable, which makes Loftings book perfect for a younger audience, The Story of Doctor Dolittle is firmly rooted in the past, but it is a nice reminder of simpler times, There is also a gentle message to the story, hinting to the need to listen more carefully to others, no matter who they are, The characters are bold and varied, especially the animals, who really do steal the show, The title character of Doctor Dolittle is presented well and the reader can see his longevity as a character,

From time to time, I look back at all the books I've given to, but never reviewed, I think it I tried to put up a review of each and every one, I'd never get to my own writing,

So why review Dr, Dolittle now

Because of all the movies I've seen made from this wonderful set of books there are more than one none have really captured the magic of the story.
If I had to choose one, I'd go with the first movie made from it, the one with Rex Harrison as the doctor, It is the most faithful to the written story, I will hastily admit that I haven't seen themovie, but the previews made me suspect that it had the same flaw as some of the earlier ones.


Here's the thing, There is a difference between 'wonder' and 'funny, ' And too many of the movies made from children's books think they have to be funny, And in the process, they bypass the wonder and the amazement of those books, Dr. Dolittle's story is not a silly, giggling story, It's about a doctor who can speak the language of animals and prefers treating them to seeing his dull human patients, and a youngster who comes to know and aid the doctor.
Together they have a series of adventures, from the arrival of a PushmePullyou to the doctor facing charges in a courtroom, The setting is a lovely little English village, PuddlebyOnTheMarsh,

This is a book that deserves to be read, or listened to, Don't be content to think you know the story because you've seen the movie, This is equally true for the Wizard of Oz, and all the Mary Poppins books, by the way,

I was never a big fan of the movie, but I can't deny that Dr, Dolittle still retains some hold on the popular imagination, Audible offered this particular edition as a free promotion this summer, which I thought was an excellent excuse to listen to this classic with my children on a road trip.
I was aware of some accusations of racism going into the listen, so we had a little chat before pressing play, Things were relatively fine until our heroes got to Africa, At that point, though, my wife and I dropped our collective jaws at the diverse usage of racial ephithets, and at the storyline that involves an African prince wanting to become white so he can win the fair princess.
To a modern audience, there is simply no excusing this,

Moreover, I didn't even find the story that enjoyable, and neither did my children, There are some quality lessonssuch as the need to actually listen to the needs of others, as exemplified by Dr, Dolittle taking the time to learn to talk to animalsbut the narrative ended up being far too light and scattered to keep our attention, Taken together with the racist elements, this is a story that would have been better left to the warm fuzzy memories of Rex Harrison with his top hat and cane.
