pre-historic animals still walk the earth!

‘Doctor Dolittle’s Post Office’ is the third book in the Dolittle series but remains a fun and fantastical standalone for readers old and new. Hugh Lofting's charming children's series is brilliantly engaging and full of stunning words and animals, paired with lessons of compassion from the good doctor himself.

An unmissable read for fans of Robert Downey Junior's ‘Dolittle’ or Disney's ‘Jungle Book’.
