wonderful: I loved this book, a lot. It was so creative and exciting...I absolutely fell in love with Dr. Dolittle. This is exactly the kind of book I wish to write someday.
sanitised edition: I do agree that books containing racist positions should not be given to children without a strong and fully aware comment. But I simply cannot stand to buy a sanitised version of a book without being aware of it. This is called censorship, and it gives me the creeps. As a parent, I have had enough real life opportunities to prove racism wrong to my children. So to realise that somebody has been cheating on me, trying to do my job so that I did not have to explain how society has evolved, how difficult it has been for minorities to be recognised and respected is just a fraud. this review is about the Harper collins Edition , edited by Patricia C. and Frederick L. McKissak, illustrated by Michael Hague.
This is a very good book: I would like to recommend this book to anyone with a good reading level because I found this book very interesting and I happen to love animals. Dr. Doolitle is a naturalist who talks to animals and keeps a private zoo in his garden and plays the flute. Tommy Stubbins longs to join someone on a ship and go sailing, so Dr. Doolitle takes him in as an assistant to help him. On their adventure they encounter several stowaways on the boat and the doctor has a bullfight without killing the bulls. I would definitely recommend this book and it keeps you on the
