Summary
As a dentist who also happens to be a mouse, Doctor De Soto was forced to find a unique way to care for his patients. Small animals sit in a regular dental chair and are treated in the traditional manner, while large animals are seated on the floor where, with the help of his wife/assistant, the good doctor climbs up a ladder and steps right into the patients' mouths to work on their teeth. Because of his small size, Doctor De Soto has one very strict office policy: he refuses to treat any type of dangerous animal. Still, when a fox with an infected bicuspid arrives in the office, the kindhearted doctor is unable to turn him away. How can Doctor De Soto fix the pained, but still hungry, fox's tooth without becoming his lunch? Watercolor illustrations accompany the text of this story that proves that an empty stomach is no match for a sharp mind. The adventures of Doctor De Soto continue in DOCTOR DE SOTO GOES TO AFRICA. A 1983 Newbery Honor Book.
