BOOK REPORT - DOCTOR DOLITTLE

Dr. Dolittle is a kind and clever animal doctor from England. Therefore, he has many pets. Some of his pets are: Polynesia (the doctor’s parrot), Teacher (the crocodile who lives – in peace – in the doctor’s fish pond), Chee-Chee (the monkey who knows his way around Africa) and Jip (the dog who can sniff out anything).

The main problems in the story are the monkeys in Africa are very sick and the doctor has no money to travel there. They find a boat, given to them by a friend, and sail to Africa. After they cure the monkeys, they get a ship from Prince Bumpo in return for a trip for him. They then, unfortunately, ran into pirates. After a while, they finally defeated the pirates. As they boarded the pirates’ ship, they found a kid locked up. He said he lost his uncle to the pirates. The doctor then said he would find the boy’s uncle. After they found his uncle, they sailed to the uncle and the boy’s home. Finally they went home themselves.


The places the events took place included Puddleby-on-the-Marsh, Africa, the ocean, Rock Island, and the Barbary Bay.
That was my book report.
