It is a series of food-themed animal vignettes. In the text, the pretence of Gub-Gub's authorship is dropped; Tommy Stubbins, Dr. Dolittle's assistant, explains that he is reporting a series of Gub-Gub's discourses to the other animals of the Dolittle household around the evening fire. Stubbins also says that the full version of Gub-Gub's encyclopaedia, which was an immense and poorly-organized collection of scribblings written by the pig in a language for pigs invented by Dr. Dolittle, was too long to translate into English.

Chronology

The main events of ''The Story of Doctor Dolittle'' take place in 1819 or 1820, although the events of the early chapters seem to be spread over several years. ''The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle'' begins in 1839. Dolittle returned from his journey to the moon in ''Doctor Dolittle's return'' during a full lunar eclipse that was visible low in the sky one late evening in spring. This was the first full lunar eclipse for a couple of years, and it took place in May 1844 in real life. Backstory references indicate that Dr. Dolittle travelled to the North Pole in April 1809, and already knew how to speak to some species of animals at that date, suggesting that the early chapters of ''The Story of Doctor Dolittle'' take place before that date. However, it is possible that the internal chronology is not consistent. The internal chronology of the books is somewhat different from the publishing order. The first book is followed by ''

'' (1924), ''

'' (1926), and ''

'' (1950). Only then follows the second book, ''

'' (1922), continued by ''

'' (1925). After that, the publishing order is restored; ''

'' (1927) is followed by ''

'' (1928) and ''

'' (1933), ending with ''

'' (1948).Schmidt, G.D. (1992). Hugh Lofting. New York: Twayne Publishing ''

'' (1923) can't be placed anywhere in the internal chronology without creating contradictions. ''Doctor Dolittle's Circus'' contains references to events that occurred in ''Post Office'', indicating that ''Post Office'' must precede ''Circus''. But the Prologue of ''Post Office'' indicates just as definitely that it must happen sometime after ''Circus''. Furthermore, in the narrative sequence that stretches from the end of the first book, through ''Circus'' and ''Caravan'', to ''Green Canary'', there's no gap into which ''Post Office'' could be inserted. For the sake of a reading order, the most logical options are to place ''Post Office'' immediately before ''Circus'', or immediately after ''Green Canary''. The stories, in order of internal chronology, are: *''
