Doctor Dolittle in the Moon

The thirteenth Doctor Dolittle adventure takes the beloved physician far beyond Earthly borders, to a silver world where impossible things bloom. The Moon is not empty after all: it teems with strange creatures, luminous flora, and mysteries that would stagger any earthly scientist. Doctor Dolittle, with his gift for animal languages and his inexhaustible curiosity, finds himself in paradise a linguist's paradise, a naturalist's dream. But paradise raises questions that transcend science. His faithful poultice-headed creature Jip waits on Earth, and the pull of home grows stronger with each passing moonrise. Lofting writes with the gentle wonder that made these books classics, balancing absurdity with genuine emotion. This is a story about what we sacrifice for knowledge, and what we discover about ourselves in the process.
