Doctor Dolittle is truly extraordinary. Not only can he talk to the animals--hecan also understand what they say to him. One day Doctor Dolittle receives amessage from Africa. The monkeys there need his help. So he sails off from hishome, bringing along all his animal friends: Dab-Dab, the duck; Jip, the dog; Gub-Gub, the baby pig; Polynesia, the parrot; and Too-Too, the owl. The doctorand his friends have many amazing adventures. They even meet the rarest of allanimals, the two-headed pushmi-pullyu!
