About This Book
Dr. De Soto, a mouse dentist, treats the toothaches of animals large and small - but his strict policy is to never work on dangerous patients, especially those who eat mice. When a fox arrives in terrible pain, Dr. De Soto and his wife must use their cleverness to help the fox while keeping themselves safe.
