pickThe fourth Dolittle book is set back in England. As usual (because of his generous nature) Dolittle is broke, so the pushmi-pullyu agrees to travel with a circus to raise some funds. So the entire household sets off together. This book was a lot about the importance of animal comfort and care and was definitely ahead of its time in calling out circuses and the like for their treatment of animals.

pickA soft pick for the third installment of this series. I'm fascinated by how years flow by in each of these stories, yet no one gets any older 😂 As usual, parts of this worked for me and parts didn't - I wish I had read these growing up (I think I only read the first one) because I wouldn't have noticed the internal illogicality like I do not haha Fun for a one-time read, but I don't particularly see myself rereading this series.
so-so3✨There was a lot of mini stories in here, and a large bird presence as they are the ones helping to deliver the letters. I really liked how Dr Dolittle helps to create a written language for the animals so they can communicate through mail. With that I finished the first Volume! 😍 #DolittleDiscussion
pickI finally got around to reading February's #DolittleDiscussion book!! I enjoyed this one more than the first book - I liked having a 1st person POV as it made the story seem more personable. There was more of a plot, and some good adventures. One has to let go of some internal inconsistencies (if I could talk to animals, I'm not sure I could also eat them...!!!), but overall it's a good deal of fun.

The husband & I have been off this week, and instead of going to FL as originally planned, we've hunkered down and had the most relaxing, chill week ever - and three days left to go!! I've been reading up a storm and have completed 6 books so far this year. None of them were mind-blowing, but since it's the beginning of the year, they check off so many challenge prompts 😂 So here's the skinny (sorry for the hosts getting tagged multiple times!):

Hello Littens! One of my challenges for 2025 is reading through the Doctor Dolittle Series. With 12 books it will be a one book a month format. If anyone would like to read along with me I‘m going to set it up in Fable, but have a monthly discussion at the end of the month here for anyone participating. 🥰💛🩺🐾 #DolittleDiscussion
