Published in 1933, Doctor Dolittle's Return was the first Doctor Dolittle book in five years. Doctor Dolittle in the Moon was supposed to be the last book but, as with Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes, the author relented. The tone is lighter and more comic, and is surprisingly short, the shortest book since the first one.
[edit] Plot summary
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Tommy Stubbins is waiting for Doctor Dolittle's return from the Moon and when the Doctor does so, he is anxious to write of what he has experienced. This proves more difficult than he expected. The poignancy of the doctor’s lunar experiences is juxtaposed with his hilarious attempts to be put into jail just so he can write his book.
