Doctor De Soto

Doctor De Soto and his wife, both mice, assist animals large and small with their dental needs-that is, all animals except foxes! One day a fox comes to them in such great pain that they agree to treat his rotten tooth. When it becomes clear the fox intends to eat them when the job is done, the De Sotos come up with a brilliant plan. As usual, Steig combines elegent writing with amusing and sophisticated illustrations.
