Notes/Thoughts

• I broke my rule of not buying online because I am trying to read the Dr. Dolittle series this year. I couldn't find an e-book version of this one and it made sense to just buy a 1940s edition since I couldn't get it much cheaper as anything else. Unfortunately, it ended up being pretty bad condition AND I found a Kindle version was just released. I guess at least I don't have to totally ruin this copy by reading it and will just read it on Kindle since I have free slow shipping credits that I never know what to use on anyways.
