Steig's work is so beloved in our house, and this tale of the famed dentist, Dr. De Soto, and his wife, Mrs. De Soto, is one of our favorites. When the De Sotos reluctantly agree to treat a fox plagued by a painful tooth, they soon realize the trouble they've found themselves in and must figure out how to outwit him. William Steig brings his characteristic wit and warmth to every page.
