Doctor Dolittle's Zoo
Fifth work of Doctor Dolittle Books, the author was Hugh Lofting / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doctor Dolittle's Zoo was written and illustrated by Hugh Lofting in 1925.[1] In the book, Doctor Dolittle returns from his voyages and sets his house in order. This includes expanding his zoo to include a home for crossbred dogs and a club for rodents. Doctor Dolittle's Zoo is different from all others because there are no cages; the animals stay there voluntarily and are free to leave whenever they want. The doctor also takes time to solve a mystery with the aid of Kling, the Dog Detective.
