Dokter Dolittle richt samen met een stel dieren een postkantoor op in Afrika. Omdat Dolittle zo hulpvaardig is komt hij geregeld in de problemen, maar hij wordt altijd trouw bijgestaan door zijn dierenvrienden. De mensen in de verhalen van Lofting zijn vaak stereotypes die niet zonder vooroordeel worden benaderd. Toch is het een fantasierijk boek dat, op dikwijls humoristische wijze de relatie tussen mens en dier schildert. Het boek biedt ook tamelijk veel achtergrondinformatie over dieren, ondanks het feit dat deze spreken. -
