'Doctor Dolittle's Post Office' Summary
In the vibrant and diverse landscape of Africa, Dr. Dolittle embarks on a mission to establish the most remarkable post office the world has ever known. With his unique ability to converse with animals, he enlists the help of his feathered friends, who become his trusted messengers. From speedy swallows to wise owls, each bird plays a crucial role in delivering messages and packages to far-flung corners of the globe.
