Bob Mustafah | 5 comments Hi, I read this book as a child in the late 70s or early 80s, the details are fuzzy. I think the dodos lived on an island and had roles like mayor ( with a sash ? ) and soldier ( with a helmet ! ). There may have been a hidden stash of delicious dodo biscuits or treats and a dodo egg as part of the plot. I have fond memories of the book and wanted to pick up a copy for my nieces.
Thanks for any help
B.

I think that's it, brilliant. The cover definately rings a bell, i can't actually find a plot summary but i'm pretty sure thats it. Thank you very much

Bob, should we mark your request as Solved? Dodo's Delight (also titled: "Doodle and the State Secrets") OR Doodle's Homework: Or, the Fuddi-Duddi-Dodo's Great Mathematical Experiment?
