So you think you know the Doctor Dolittle universe, eh? Let me tell you about the wildest adventure you likely haven't heard of. This isn't a modern movie. This is the old-school classic: Doctor Dolittle in the Moon where Hugh Lofting pulled the wildest twist by putting our favorite animal whisperer on... a mysterious sphere descending into permanent black? (Yeah, basically the moon, only not clear and bright, but sorta dry and full of sand.) It'll blow up everything you thought you knew about his stuff...

You know what, let's think on it—this massively quirky volume from 1926 drastically changes everything: in the phase everyone adores.

The Story

What it warns itself (the author) explicitly makes kind-of this stand: Doctor Dolittle actually jets for the moon because Earth got kinda boring It's quickly written but straightforward. After literally his last Earthly adventures fail ambition’s hit-limits John Dolittle and colleagues dab tiptoe with problem of raising huge star-nosed carrots. With aide of moth boy—Nerose, du –he attempts learning Selenian.* The tone is fascinating even if plodding along..*Some actual Selenitis emerge (man-sized bugs– it sounds kooky; trust-process). Dolittle finds animal vocal patterns loop in outer world: how the moon's ants attack gravity? With his diary he records, gets stuck—could do way chilling is won because now alone with dog-mole or other odd. It concludes with—uhh someone maybe dead? Details are scarce: Mottley – lost afterward series*.

Why You Should Read It

My personal faves: It's the point of his mind opening and secret cool aspect: what does a compassionist make the unknowable? Anyway early 2oth ecological parable reminds now all go push.
