Good morning Answerlanders,

A fellow librarian needs our help:

"Hi, One of our patrons is searching for the title of a science fiction book. Do any of you recognize the book this patron is describing?: 'Looking for a science fiction book from the late sixties or early seventies. Written for juveniles. Plot involved a scientist or explorer going to another planet where they ate a fruit that sped up their speech and movements and running. Don't remember the title or author. Started with a man being interviewed by a computer. The computer assigned him to trip to explore a new alien place. Aliens had leathery skin and antennae. When he smiled at the aliens to try to communicate, they thought showing his teeth was aggressive or insulting. Tried to put an alien in a steam room to revive it.' Thank you!"
