Doctor Dolittle's Post Office is the third of Hugh Lofting's Doctor Dolittle books. Set on the West Coast of Africa, the 1923 book follows the episodic format of most other books in the series. In the beginning of the book, Doctor Dolittle helps to capture a slave trader's ship, then organizes the postal service of a small African kingdom, Fantippo, ruled over by King Koko. Mobilizing migrating birds to carry people's mail from continent to continent, Doctor Dolittle effectively anticipates the 20th Century invention of air mail. Over the course of later chapters, he discovers a hidden island populated by prehistoric creatures, gets thrown into another African jail, invents animal alphabets, and defeats at least two armies. Each of the animals in the Dolittle family also tells a personal story. The postal program grows into a worldwide postal and publishing service for the benefit of animals everywhere.

Doctor Dolittle has a special power: he can talk to animals. When he discovers that the animals in the African Kingdom of Fantippo are writing letters, he establishes a post office just for them. Throughout his adventures, he journeys from battling slave ships to discovering forgotten islands where pre-historic animals still walk the earth! 'Doctor Dolittle's Post Office' is the third book in the Dolittle series but remains a fun and fantastical standalone for readers old and new. Hugh Lofting's charming children's series is brilliantly engaging and full of stunning words and animals, paired with lessons of compassion from the good doctor himself. An unmissable read for fans of Robert Downey Junior's 'Dolittle' or Disney's 'Jungle Book'.
