This audiobook was on so loud in the car that I had no choice but to hear it. I slept through a few chapters, but those were just short stories within the book so who cares. Definitely do not read this/listen to this all in one sitting. The book is very long and it’s better when you read it like a show and not like a movie. The chapters are like really long episodes.
To be fair, this book was probably very fun for a younger audience and my dislike is also partially cause I got a headache during the road trip. So. It’s a fun book, an the end has a whole crime mystery thing going on which was nice.

Dr. Dolittle has a zoo in the garden of his house in Puddleby. Filled with creatures of all sorts, it becomes a haven for mice, crossbred dogs, foxes, badgers, and any animal in need. Each animal has exciting adventures, and their own way of contributing to Dr. Doolittle‘s household.

I love the old-fashioned writing style and the simple stories. Each adventure is interesting and well thought out, keeping my attention through every chapter. Dr. Dolittle himself is a fascinating character, and I love reading about all his dealings with the strange and wondrous animals he meets.

The Hugh Lofting Doctor Dolittle stories are classics that stand the test of time. I really enjoy them and find them clever and enjoyable. I think the writing can be seen as a bit dated but I think it's still extremely readable.
