The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle

It was fun. I mean, what kid doesn't love a man who can talk with animals, traveling to an island, volcanoes, pink snails...what's not to love. My favorite part of it though is what it tells about the world at the time it was written, a time when British domination was the norm, a time when cannibalism was not unheard of and most of all, it reminds me of stories of my great grandfather living in the British East Indies. Fun stuff!
