Who do you go to when you have a sore tooth? Why Doctor De Soto, of course. If you haven't heard of him, he's the famed dentist who will take care of all your dentistry needs. Did I mention he is a mouse.
One day, Doctor Desoto comes in contact with a patient he is unsure of-a well-dressed fox with an aching tooth. Well after a small debate with his wife and assistant, Mrs. De Soto, our hero decides to treat the poor Fox. But will the seemingly friendly Fox eat Doctor De Soto?
Steig has done it once more with this book, a runner-up for the Newbery Medal. As one of the reviewers pointed out, there IS some blood shown, but to tell you the truth, I didn't even notice. Besides, pop culture has already given little ones a preconceived image of what a trip to the dentist's is like. A picture book not to be overlooked. William Steig will not be forgotten. |

On Friday afternoon, I was talking to my younger sister at a Denny's restaurant, when, out of nowhere, the storyline image of this book came into mind. I am currently seventeen years old, and even though it was more than ten years ago, I was still able to vividly recall to my sister (who is thirteen) all of the wonderful images of the fox, donkey, and alligator that I had enjoyed so long ago. She also began remembering different parts of the book since I had shared it with her when we were younger, and we excitedly spoke about the clever dentist and his antics.
This is one book that has stuck out in my mind as a childhood favorite (even though I still am somewhat of a kid) and I'm sure your child will come to love and cherish this book as well. |

Dr. Desoto is a humorous well illustrated story of a mouse dentist and how he solved a problem in an unexpected way. I have read this book to several children 5-8 yr. age range and they all loved it and wanted to borrow it. Parents will appreciate Dr, Desoto's desire to maintain his professional integrity. |

Dr. De Soto and his wife are wonderful kind mice that do not treat dangerous animals in their dentists office. But when a pitiful fox with a horrible toothache comes begging for help they are faced with a hard choice. A great story that shows you can outwit a fox by using your head. |

This is a wonderful book! I purchased this for my 4 year old son and have given several copies as gifts to his friends. The story appeals to boys and girls. The author of this book wrote the original Shrek story as well as another book titled Boris and Amos. I highly recommend this book! |

This book teaches an excellant lesson to young readers. This, I feel is the books strongest asset. It teaches children to not take advantage of people and when a hungry fox tries to eat his helpful mouse dentist and his wife, he winds up with his mouth glued together. The good dentist and his wife are weary about accepting a fox as a patient because they are mistrustful, but when the pathetic fos pleads for their help with a severe toothache, they accept the cahllenge. Eventually they outsmart the mischevious fox resulting in a happy ending. |
