THE VOYAGES OF DOCTOR DOLITTLE, PART ONEby Hugh Lofting and illustrated by Hugh LoftingThe Atlantic Monthly:"The children in years an children in heart, to whom Hugh Lofting dedicates his biography of Animals own Doctor, will delight in every page of this demurely twinkling little book. The gravity of Hugh Lofting`s fun is one of its charms. The pictures and the print vie with each other in solemn absurdities."New York Times:"Once in a while a book appears that is quite different from any other. As fascinating as it is queer. It is all most whimsical, most amusing, told in that this-is-the-plain-truth manner that is the best way to tell an unbelievable tale. The pictures that move hand-in-hand with the story are just as queer, just as adorable, and are by the same hand and brain. A book to greet with delight, to cherish, and it to lend, then gone for good."
