Doctor Dolittle in the Moon
ByPublisher Description
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 . . .
