Doctor de Soto

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, the New Yorker cartoonist who came to children's books at sixty and never looked back, brings his characteristic wit and warmth to every page. A Newbery Honor Book and National Book Award winner, and one of those rare picture books that is just as funny for the adult reading it as for the child listening. A shop favorite.
