    <body><![CDATA[I remember reading this book in homeroom at George Washington Elementary School in Park Ridge and not liking it very much, thinking it a children's book and, so, beneath me.  Now, however, I'd like to try reading it to little kids and hear what they have to say.

This first book is about how Dr. Dolittle starts talking to animals.<br/><br/>This is a censored version of Dr. Dolittle.
