not the best dr dolittle book, but entertaining
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
gub-gub is one of my favorite dr dolittle characters. his book, selections from his "encyclopaedia of food", is entertaining, although it reads less like a dr dolittle book and more like roald dahl. most of the stories are kind of whimsical parodies, so there's a story about a famous food detective named "sherbet scones" and a three-part "epicnic" about a "Picnic King". there's also a recount of "the war of the tomatoes". there's some funny dialogue among the other animals as they comment on the stories. overall this a decent read if you love dr dolittle, although i imagine some of the stories would be less engaging for kids than the other dr dolittle books.

Many wonderful references to food, as well as numerous plays on words. This book reminded me of "Haroun and the Sea of Stories". A very interesting, and enjoyable book.
