"Slobodchikoff's ground-breaking research" (Jonathan Balcombe) shows us that animals have much to teach us about language Groundbreaking research has been done teaching animals human language, but what about the other way around? Studies have shown that lizards, squid, monkeys, and birds are talking to each other, communicating information about food, predators, squabbles, and petty jealousies. These animal languages are unique and highly adaptive. By exploring them, we come to appreciate the basis of our own languages; understanding or even "speaking" them allows us to get closer to the other species who inhabit this planet with us. The implications of animals having language are enormous. It has been one of the last bastions separating "us" from "them." Slobodchikoff's studies of the communication system of prairie dogs over twenty-five years have attracted a considerable amount of attention from the media, including a one-hour documentary on his work produced by BBC and Animal Planet. In Chasing Doctor Dolittle, he posits that the difference is one of degree, not the vast intellectual chasm that philosophers have talked about for millennia. Filled with meticulous research, vivid examples and daring conclusions, this book will challenge the reader's assumptions and open up new possibilities of understanding our fellow creatures.

The classic children’s tale of a man who could walk with the animals, talk with the animals, grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals . . . John Dolittle was not your average doctor. He was known as a quiet, capable physician who lived a simple life in a simple house with his sister. His true love was for animals. He even kept a menagerie of wildlife in his very home, which ended up scaring away his two-legged human clientele. But after his parrot, Polynesia, teaches him the secret to speaking with animals, Dolittle finds a new calling as a veterinarian. He uses his gift to understand, help, and heal the furred and feathered of the world. As his fame spreads, he’s soon called upon to travel far from his small English village to the jungles of Africa, where an epidemic is threatening the entire monkey kingdom. It seems only Doctor Dolittle can save the day.

The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle is the second in Hugh Lofting’s Doctor Dolittle series of books. Written and illustrated by Lofting it is nearly five times as long as book one and the writing style is pitched at a more mature audience. The scope of the novel is vast; it is divided into six parts and the illustrations are also more sophisticated. Lofting was one of the first winners of the Newbery Medal for 1923. It was one of the novels in the series which was adapted into the 1967 film Doctor Dolittle. The novel begins when Tommy Stubbins, the narrator of the story, finds a squirrel injured by a hawk. Matthew Mugg, the cat's meat man, informs him to get help from Doctor Dolittle, who can speak the language of animals. The Doctor is away but on his return he attends to the squirrel. Tommy is introduced to some of the strange animals in Doolittle's care, such as the Wiff-Waff fish, and those who care for his household, such as Dab-Dab the duck, and Jip the dog. Polynesia the parrot arrives in Puddleby from Africa informs the Doctor that Bumpo is studying in Bullford. Tommy begins his studies with Doolittle, and Polynesia teaches Tommy the language of animals. Chee-Chee comes from Africa disguised as a lady and tells about his voyage. The Doctor acquires The Curlew and is thinking of taking Tommy, Polynesia, and Luke the Hermit. They find out from the hermit's dog, Bob, that he was sent to prison for murder but Bob is a witness so when the court is in the process the Doctor proves to the judge that he can talk to animals when this is settled he translates Bob's story to English. When the story is finished the judges conclude that the hermit is innocent. But all this is a prelude to the voyages of Doctor Dolittle. In their first journey, the Purple Bird of Paradise informs the Doctor that Long Arrow, son of Golden Arrow, who is a friend of the Doctor, is missing so after they play the game Blind Travel, which would determine where in the world they would voyage. And so the Voyages of Doctor Dolittle begin…….

Hugh Lofting's DR. DOLITTLE Book Series is a delightful collection of stories that follow the adventures of the eponymous doctor who can talk to animals. Written in a charming and whimsical style, these books cater to young readers while also offering deeper themes of empathy, friendship, and the importance of communication with all living beings. Lofting's unique blend of fantasy and moral lessons creates a captivating narrative that has stood the test of time since its initial publication in the early 20th century. Hugh Lofting, an English author and illustrator, was inspired to create the character of Dr. Dolittle while serving in the military during World War I. His experiences abroad sparked a desire to write stories that would entertain and educate children, leading to the creation of this beloved series. Lofting's background in engineering and his love for animals are evident in the vivid descriptions and detailed interactions between Dr. Dolittle and his animal friends. I highly recommend Hugh Lofting's DR. DOLITTLE Book Series to readers of all ages who appreciate heartwarming tales that celebrate the beauty of the natural world and the importance of compassion towards all creatures. These timeless stories are sure to enchant and inspire both young and old alike.
