I purchased this to read with my six year old daughter. My four year old son listens in. They love the stories, and when I am unable to read to them before bed, my daughter reads it to my son because they just can't wait to hear what happens next.
This is a collection of stories about Dr. Dolittle, a 'people' doctor who learns to speak the languages of various animals. He eventually becomes an animal doctor, renown for his expertise in understanding and curing animal ailments. A few of the animals of his household accompany him throughout the book, and one gets to know their personalities, which adds great fun to the stories.
There are several shorter 'books' within the main book - each about a specific adventure: a trip to Africa to cure some monkeys, a short fling with the circus, an adventure to a floating island to meet another naturalist...
A simple drawing by the author, every few pages or so, adds just enough visualization for my two kids, who still want a few pictures in their books at this age. A fun read; I'm very glad we found it!
