By various ruses, Gub-Gub persuades the other animals in Puddleby to listen as he reads aloud the results of his fascinating researches while they are waiting for the Doctor to come home from the Moon. Very swiftly indeed it makes the time pass from his hearers and his sympathetic treat of the joys of food will make mouth water and tears of laughter flow from every eye.

Stokes Co. 1932 7 5/8" x 5 1/4" Gub Gub's Book: An Encyclopedia of Food: In Twenty Volumes is a 1932 children's book in the Doctor Dolittle series by Hugh Lofting. Gub-Gub the pig was one of the first animals with whom Doctor Dolittle learned to talk and appears in most of the books. This book features stories from and about Gub-Gub's attempt to write an encyclopedia of food. The frontispiece of the book introduces "An Encyclopedia of Food in Twenty Volumes", going on to explain that "Prof. GUB GUB Announces that Owing to the High Cost of Living the other 19 Volumes of this great work have been Temporarily Postponed". The book takes the form of a Scheherazade story, with chapters unfolding evening by evening. As Gub-Gub deals patiently with his raucous animal friends, they are drawn into his world and find out such vital information on the food map as where King Alfred burnt the cakes.
