About this title

Synopsis

Just in time for the major motion picture Dolittle starring Robert Downey Jr.—soaring into theaters on January 17, 2020!

Journey into the world of Doctor Dolittle, the kind and eccentric naturalist who can speak with animals. Working with original author Hugh Lofting’s son, these books have been fully updated for the modern reader, all while retaining the full charm of the originals.

Rediscover the children’s literature classic with three novels from the beloved series!

The Doctor has returned home at last to Puddleby-on-the-Marsh. In Doctor Dolittle’s Zoo, he immediately sets to work expanding his menagerie, including a home for crossbred dogs. This brings with it a multitude of tales, all related in Doctor Dolittle’s Puddleby Adventures, including a mystery solved by Kling, the Dog Detective. Finally, in Doctor Dolittle’s Garden the Doctor delves into the languages of insects, culminating in a surprise visit from the Giant Lunar Moth!

About the Author

Hugh Lofting (January 1886–September 1947) was a British author who created the beloved and timeless character of Doctor Dolittle. His stories have inspired several major motion pictures over the last sixty years, and many household names—including Rex Harrison, Eddie Murphy, and Robert Downey Jr.—have taken on the titular role. He is also the author of several other books for children.
