Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Classic Starts: The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (Classic Starts Series) (Hardcover)
I remember how I loved these stories as a young kid. I gave them to my young relatives as a gift, and they loved them just as much as I had. Get your young folks started on the path to enjoying books with these stories.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading paraphrase of a dfferent book...., March 9, 2011
By 
This review is from: Classic Starts: The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (Classic Starts Series) (Hardcover)
I just received this book. It is a paraphrase of "The Story of Dr. Dolittle", Hugh Loftings first book. And not a good paraphrase either.

New material:

My wife and I love the stories of Doctor Dolittle. This particular story is not a Hugh Lofting story about Dr. Dolittle. Someone read one of Mr.Loftings book, and for some reason proceeded to write their own version of the story. Odd, and not a very good read.
