Publisher: Dell (version I read)
Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) Tommy Stubbins, Dolittle's assistant, reports on Professor Quetch, curator of the Dog Museum. Meanwhile, the doctor has learned insect languages and hears ancient tales of a giant race of insects. Fascinated, the doctor plans a voyage to find them - but before he does so, one arrives in his garden.

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.

A great addition to the series, Doctor Dolittle's Garden tells first about the Dog Museum, and finally leads into how the Doctor is spending his days with trying to learn the languages of the insects. As so happens in all of the Doctor Dolittle books, by a string of odd events, the group ends up learning that there are animals on the moon that need the Doctor's help. 

This is a great setup to the next book in the series, Doctor Dolittle in the Moon. I can't wait to get reading to find out what happens next!

You can purchase Doctor Dolittle's Garden from Amazon in Kindle format!
