What a gift to be able to talk to animals! But for 11-year-old Lilli, her four-legged friendships tend to get her and her family into too much trouble. After a messy mishap with a donkey and the mayor, the spunky, curly-haired redhead vows to her parents to keep her talent hidden and try to make some new, non-animal friends. On Lilli’s first day at her new school, the class travels to Paradisia, a local zoo with an uncertain future. Tasked with helping reopen the zoo in a few short days, Lilli overhears from a worried piglet that animals keep mysteriously disappearing at night. Lilli confides in Jess, a classmate and nephew of the zoo’s eccentric owner, fearing the zoo’s most prized animal, Ronni, a new baby elephant, will be next. The pair must follow the clues—and their noses—to track down the infamous zoo thief once and for all. A spirited, colorful tale, LITTLE MISS DOLITTLE offers laughs and adventure fun for the whole family. (Dubbed in English) —A.B.
