Definitely a product of its time ( )

I know my dislike for this book mostly comes from when I read it. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I had read it when I was in elementary school. ( )

Details how the Doctor came to learn the languages of animals, and how he was called to Africa where he meets the rarest of all beasts, the marvelous two-headed pushmi-pullyu!

Enjoyable children's tale of the man who could talk to animals. I wasn't overwhelmed by David Case's narration. ( )

Inscribed: “Bruce Diven Judd, from Grandad an Gran, September 28, 1957”
