This book is a Newbery Award-winning work. One day, a fox comes crying to Doctor De Soto, a mouse who is also a dentist, begging him to fix his aching tooth. After a moment's hesitation, Doctor De Soto and his wife agree to treat the fox — but the fox secretly plans to eat the couple once his tooth is fixed. Sensing the fox's true intentions, the clever Doctor De Soto and his wife come up with a witty plan to seal the fox's jaw shut. This is a book that shines with cleverness and humor.
