“This is one of those picture books that are so good I’d just like to quote the whole thing.” –Philadelphia Inquirer
“Simple but sly, a mischievously imaginative rendition of the classic theme.” –Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
“Doctor De Soto is a mouse dentist who … operates a clinic open to all except animals threatening to mice. What to do, then, when a weeping and wailing fox shows up for treatment? … There is great wit and good fun in the illustrations.” –Booklist, Starred Review
