Doctor de Soto

by William Steig

: Doctor De Soto, the dentist, treats toothaches for his animal patients large and small in this Newberry Honor book from the creator of Shrek. Since he’s a mouse, Doctor De Soto refuses to treat “dangerous” animals: animals that eat mice! But one day a fox shows up and begs for relief from a killer tooth infection. How can the kind-hearted dentist De Soto turn him away but also not, you know, get eaten? Leave it to the smartest mouse dentist in literature!
