<p><b>A Newbery Honor Book from the creator of <i>Shrek</i>. </b> <p/>Doctor De Soto, the dentist, did very good work. With the aid of his able assistant, Mrs. De Soto, he copes with the toothaches of animals large and small. His expertise is so great that his fortunate patients never feel any pain. <p/>Since he's a mouse, Doctor De Soto refuses to treat dangerous animals--that is, animals who have a taste for mice. But one day a fox shows up and begs for relief from the tooth that's killing him. How can the kindhearted De Sotos turn him away? But how can they make sure that the fox doesn't give in to his baser instincts once his tooth is fixed? Those clever De Sotos will find a way.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> William Steig<br><b>Publisher:</b> Square Fish<br><b>Published:</b> 04/27/2010<br><b>Pages:</b> 32<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.31lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.96h x 8.48w x 0.14d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780312611897<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 3.6<br><b>Point Value:</b> 0.5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>5511 / Doctor de Soto (English)<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>William Steig</b> (1907-2003) was a cartoonist, illustrator and author of award-winning books for children, including <i>Shrek!</i>, on which the DreamWorks movies are based; the Caldecott Medal-winner <i>Sylvester and the Magic Pebble</i>; The Caldecott Honor book <i>The Amazing Bone</i>; and the Ne
