The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle follows the adventures of a young boy named Tommy Stubbins, the son of a cobbler in the small town of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh. At nine and a half years old, Tommy dreams of traveling the world, inspired by the sailing ships that anchor near the old Kingsbridge in his hometown. He spends his days watching sailors unload cargo, listening to their songs, and imagining a life filled with distant lands and exciting voyages.

His life changes forever when he meets Doctor Dolittle, the extraordinary naturalist who can speak with animals. Tommy becomes the Doctor’s assistant, learning not only about animals but also about courage, kindness, and the wonders of the world.

Through danger, discovery, and friendship, Tommy grows and learns what it truly means to explore the world with curiosity and compassion.
