Abstract:
Doctor John Dolittle, the veterinarian who can actually talk to animals, sets sail on the high seas for new adventures. Accompanied by his young friend Tommy Stubbins and the beloved animals of his household -- Polynesia the parrot, Jip the dog, and Chee-Chee the monkey -- the doctor is off to forbidding Spidermonkey Island to examine the rare jabizri beetle. Doctor Dolittle and his friends brave a shipwreck, find the floating island, and meet the incredible Great Glass Sea Snail -- the keeper of the greatest mystery of all.
