Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) Doctor Dolittle's Return is lighter and more comic than other Dolittle books. Tommy Stubbins waits for Doctor Dolittle's return from the Moon. When the Doctor returns he is anxious to write of what he has experienced. This proves more difficult than expected. The poignancy of the doctor's lunar experiences is juxtaposed with his hilarious attempts to be put into jail so he will be free of all responsibilities and will be able to write his book.

My Review:

I give this book a 5 out of 5.

As the description promises, Doctor Dolittle's Return is one of the more amusing books in the series. Doctor Dolittle finally returns from the moon, and once he's back to normal size, he proceeds to try to get into jail in order to have the quiet he needs to write his book. Finally, after getting kicked OUT of jail, Tommy comes up with a solution that helps the Doctor have the time he needs while still helping the animals that come to him.
