Product Details

Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-8-Doctor Dolittle sets sail towards the mysterious Spider Monkey Island accompanied by by nine-and-a-half-year-old Tommy Stubbins. By Hugh Lofting.
Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From AudioFile

To embark on a voyage with Dr. Doolittle is to enjoy a vast world of natural history and gentle satire amid a warm, loving sea of imagination. The creatures with whom the good doctor converses come growling, squeaking, or quacking in Alan Bennett's marvelously adaptable voice. He reads with intensity all the tongue-twisting nomenclatures that Lofting employs. We are at liberty to wholeheartedly sail with that menagerie to an island where, with the assistance of parrots, we may fight a war and then sail home in the shell of a snail. We could ask for no finer adventure. S.B.S. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars sanitised edition, Dec 21 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Voyages Of Dr Dolittle C (Hardcover)
I do agree that books containing racist positions should not be given to children without a strong and fully aware comment. But I simply cannot stand to buy a sanitised version of a book without being aware of it. This is called censorship, and it gives me the creeps. As a parent, I have had enough real life opportunities to prove racism wrong to my children. So to realise that somebody has been cheating on me, trying to do my job so that I did not have to explain how society has evolved, how difficult it has been for minorities to be recognised and respected is just a fraud. this review is about the Harper collins Edition , edited by Patricia C. and Frederick L. McKissak, illustrated by Michael Hague.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Imaginative Adventure Through Time, Oct 23 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (Paperback)
Doc Dollitle is a very good book it has a total adventure backlot. I love his animals this story goes beyond the movie to further great adventures like what happens after he goes into the pink gient snail. I loved this book and I'm sure you will too. I recamend it for children eight and older to read. I read it in the sixth grade. Check out other great books like the BFG and a seperate peace.
