The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle
by Hugh Lofting
Dr. John Doolittle, a veterinarian who can actually talk to animals, goes to the open sea for new adventures! Accompanied by his young friend Tommy Stabbins and his household's favorite animals, polynesian parrots, Jeep dogs and Chi-Chi monkeys, the good doctor goes to forbid Spider Monkey Island to study a rare jabizri beetle. But the mysterious island has another darker secret: the famous Indian naturalist Long Arrow has mysteriously disappeared, and Dr. Doolittle urgently needs to talk to him. Dr. Doolittle and his friends dare to descend the shipwreck, find a floating island and meet the amazing Great Glass Sea Snail - the guardian of everyone's greatest secret.
