Sinossi
Al ritorno dai suoi viaggi, il Dottor Dolittle decide di mettere in piedi uno zoo in cui gli animali si possano sentire a casa e non in prigione. Il nuovo zoo diventa una vera e propria "Città degli animali" i cui abitanti si dividono spontaneamente in quartieri organizzati intorno ai rispettivi circoli, come la Casa dei Cani Meticci o la Taverna dei Tassi. Qui gli animali si riuniscono, bevono, mangiano, leggono e raccontano le loro straordinarie avventure. Quando al Circolo dei Ratti e dei Topi arriva un avventore a chiedere aiuto per la sua famiglia minacciata da un incendio, il Dottore e i suoi accorrono in soccorso. La vicenda però assume presto contorni misteriosi. Così il fido Tommy Stubbins, il Venditore di Carne per Gatti, Bumpo e tutti gli animali della casa del Dottor Dolittle cominciano a indagare con il prezioso aiuto di Kling, il Cane Detective. Suo malgrado, anche il Dottore verrà coinvolto... Età di lettura: da 10 anni.

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-f Leggi tutto
What a delightful little story! I was loosely familiar with the concept of this book having seen the Eddie Murphy film adaptation in the 90's, but like 'The Jungle Book' I was also blown away by the difference between our modern day retelling of these stories and the reality of their old fashioned l Leggi tutto
My favorite quote: "A zoo should be an animal home, not an animal prison." Perhaps Hugh Lofting was one of the first animal rights activists of his time? The title of this book is a little misleading in that it indicates a story about a diverse collection of creatures likely in a zoo setting whereas Leggi tutto
I recall being quite fond of this as a child, but as an adult found it ponderous reading. The concept - a zoo run by animals for animals - is quite good, but essentially it's a bunch of mostly weak short stories hung on the same line with one pin between each of them. If you started your Dolittle jo Leggi tutto
In this story, Doctor Dolittle decides to set up a home, or zoo, for animals who are not wanted, such as mixed breed dogs. He divides the animals up by species, and makes them promise not to chase or harm each other. Then the animals want to have libraries, so they tell stories which he puts into bo Leggi tutto
Another great edition to a delightful classic series. I love how these books create a fun new world perspective ever time you turn the page
This is a really sweet book. I'm reading it to my son in installments befoer bed, it's perfect :)
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 s Leggi tutto
