"Every boy and girl should meet Doctor Dolittle for the first time in the original stories by High Lofting. They are classics which children enjoy reading themselves (and which parents enjoy reading aloud to younger children)."
"Wherein lies High Lofting's gift to readers of all ages? First, he had a story to tell, and that story was always entertaining.... This explains the inevitable chuckles that accompany the reading of Doctor Dolittle's adventures. Second, Hugh Lofting had a strong belief in the beauty of language.... Thus, when Doctor Dolittle uses a large word, it is the perfect and only word to express his meaning. IT is so used that the child reader is left without the slightest doubt as to its meaning, even though he may never have met it before.... Above all, Hugh Lofting understood children."
- The Saturday Review (1/10/48)
Another critic almost twenty years later wrote: " Children know good writing when they see it or hear it, and there is nothing accidental about the continual hold exerted on young listeners by Beatrix Potter, Frank Baum Edward Lear, E.B. White - and other authors who respect a child's right to enjoy a difficult word, even if he doesn't understand it, or to sail away on a flight of the imagination and that carries no guarantee of a safe landing. Of this small company, none so exhilarated me for pure style and Hugh Lofting."
- The New York Times Book Review (11/6/66)
