Hi John
This is a good review of the story of this doctor. It is a wonderful story with so many different animals. I saw the movies but haven't read the book.
Congrats on winning the prompt
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great rest of the week.
Joan

    Thank you, Joan. It was wonderful book and made our "imagination" soar. It instilled in me a love for reading, which I've never lost. I appreciate your congratulations and kind words. Blessings to you.

    You're welcome, John. It was a good story. The book that did that made me a reader was "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". It was read to the class chapter by chapter by my 4th grade teacher, Ms. James. It made me want to read and feel the story myself.

    Very well put. I love your words that hearing the book read made you feel the story. Watching a movie takes the imagination out of the story. Hearing it read from a book, you can let your mind go and make the story your own. Thanks again, Joan. Blessings to you.

This seems like a good candidate for the contest. I like the adjective magical used to describe Dr Doolittle. A young child would understand that. Good job and good luck. Have a blessed day
