A classic children's adventure in which Doctor Dolittle brings the wonders of the animal kingdom to his own backyard.
In Doctor Dolittle's Zoo, Hugh Lofting continues the beloved adventures of the kindly physician who prefers the company of animals to that of people. Having travelled the world and conversed with creatures great and small, Doctor Dolittle returns home with an ambitious idea: to create a sanctuary where animals may live safely and naturally, observed not as curiosities but as companions.
With the help of his loyal friends-including Polynesia the parrot, Chee-Chee the monkey, and a host of familiar companions-the Doctor establishes a most unusual zoological garden. Yet as always in Lofting's imaginative world, plans rarely proceed without complication. Mishaps, misunderstandings, and gentle humour abound as the Doctor's compassion and ingenuity are put to the test.
Blending quiet moral instruction with lively storytelling, Doctor Dolittle's Zoo reflects Lofting's enduring message of kindness toward animals and mutual understanding across differences. It remains one of the most charming entries in the enduring Doctor Dolittle series.
