Description
The doctor who can talk to the animals makes some mind-blowing lunar discoveries in this spacefaring adventure from the Newbery Medal-winning author. On the back of a gigantic moth, John Dolittle and his companions travel through space from London to the moon. And they make an interesting landing party indeed. There's the esteemed doctor and naturalist, his secretary Thomas Stubbins, Polynesia the parrot, and Chee-Chee the monkey. Though their purpose on the moon is mysterious, Doctor Dolittle has much to explore once they discover the lush forests beyond the barren desert landscape that greets them. Strangely no animal life makes itself known, but the doctor soon learns to communicate with the flowers! But it's the footprints of an apparent giant that hold the greatest fascination for the intrepid explorers-and just might reveal the moon's greatest mystery . . . "Any child who is not given the opportunity to make the acquaintance of this rotund, kindly and enthusiastic doctor/naturalist and all of his animal friends will miss out on something important." -Jane Goodall "Each generation cries for the moon in turn and the very newest one will find in these pages not something to cry for but something to completely satisfy their fleeting fancy." -The Spectator
