Doktor Johann Dolittle kann etwas, worum ihn viele Menschen beneiden: Er spricht die Sprache der Tiere! Und er versteht wie kein anderer ihnen zu helfen, wenn sie einmal in Not sind. Das weiß bald jedes Kind auch weit über die Grenzen von Dolittles Heimat Puddleby hinaus. Sogar bis nach Afrika reicht der gute Ruf des Doktors, so dass ihn eines Tages die Affen um Hilfe bitten. Als er sich mit dem Papagei Polynesia, dem Hund Jip, dem Schwein Göb-Göb und vier weiteren Tieren auf die Reise macht, beginnt ein tierisch turbulentes Abenteuer!

Il personaggio creato con tanto successo da Lofting non poteva essere lasciato dopo solo un libro, e così vengono scritti e pubblicati una serie fortunata di libri in cui le avventure di Dolittle si arricchiscono di un altro protagonista umano, in cui facilmente i ragazzi possono identificarsi.

Hugh Lofting, nelle trincee della prima guerra mondiale, decide di non scrivere ai suoi figli ciò a cui sta assistendo, e allora, nelle sue lettere, scrive loro racconti fantastici, che diventeranno in seguito, nel 1920, le avventure del Dr. Dolittle. Questo personaggio, a cui si sono ispirate molto liberamente varie sceneggiature cinematografiche, è un medico a cui piacciono più gli animali delle "persone di riguardo". Pertanto, con l'aiuto del suo pappagallo Polinesia, impara presto a parlare tutte le lingue degli animali.

Dr. John Dolittle mag Tiere viel lieber als Menschen. Darum stört es ihn auch herzlich wenig, dass immer mehr Patienten seine Praxis meiden. Doch irgendwie müssen die Rechnungen ja bezahlt werden. Zum Glück bringt die Papageien-Dame Polynesia dem Doktor alle Tiersprachen bei. Nun steht einer Karriere als Tierarzt nichts mehr im Wege. So wird Dr. Dolittle bald auf der ganzen Welt berühmt und seine "Hausbesuche" führen ihn sogar bis nach Afrika. Gelesen von Stimmkünstler Rufus Beck begeistert die Geschichte von Doktor Dolittle und seinen tierischen Freunden Groß und Klein.
