   ReCaptcha hates me today. (Technically - the web page can't connect.) so here:   
      
   I've read some Dr. Doolittle.   
      
   More examples:   
      
   * Urmel aus dem Eis and Followups by Max Kruse (don't know if   
   available translated to English). Dr. forgotshisname is living   
   on a small island and taught some animals human language (German)   
   but each of them has a characteristic mistake they make.   
      
   * Harry Potter (at least him and a few others are Parseltongues   
   (speak with snakes).   
      
   * Pooh not only talks to Piglet, Kanga, Tigger and Eeyore, but   
     also to Christopher Robin   
      
   * Maybe Calvin and Hobbes.   
      
   * If we allow telepathy, the Dragon stuff by Anne McCaffrey,   
     (and of course Eragon by Paolini who copied the concept from her   
     and a few motives from two or three other books/films that I   
     immediately recognized back then, but this is a long-written   
     rant.)
