DOCTOR DOLITTLE'S FAVORITE POEMS ABOUT HIS PATIENTS AND PALS

Porridge Poetry by Hugh Lofting

"Dear Children, I would have you know it;

That this is me, the Porridge Poet,

My inspiration's in the ice-box;

My rhymes I pick out from the spice-box"

In this volume the Porridge Poet fires the imagination,

enticing you to wonder why Mr. Beers is digging a tunnel

down to China, and the the Chinese think of that? What

other adventures the Pirate of the Kitchen Sink might have besides terrorizing innocent cups and saucers? And just what tales is the Palm Family whispering about at the edge of an African Lagoon?

Christopher Lofting's introduction, The Man Who Spoke to Animals, offers an insider's view of Hugh Lofting's idosyncrasies and tidbits about the author's personal ties to the delightful characters that emerged from his imagination.
