Doctor De Soto

By: William Steig

Narrated by: Ian Thomson

From the incomparable William Steig, creator of Shrek, comes a story that proves even a fox can be out-foxed by a clever mouse in Doctor De Soto.

"Doctor De Soto, the dentist, did very good work." With the aid of his able assistant, Mrs. De Soto, he copes with the toothaches of animals large and small. His expertise is so great that his fortunate patients never feel any pain.

Since he's a mouse, Doctor De Soto refuses to treat "dangerous" animals - that is, animals who have a taste for mice. But one day a fox shows up and begs for relief from the tooth that's killing him. How can the kindhearted De Sotos turn him away? But how can they make sure that the fox doesn't give in to his baser instincts once his tooth is fixed? Those clever De Sotos will find a way."

Wonderful narration of an excellent story

My daughter has listened to this story over and over again. The narrator did a terrific job with the voices. William Steig was an amazing storyteller.

Dr. Desoto

This is a fantastic story and so well narrated. My 2 1/2 year old son has requested it 5 times already. Can’t recommend it enough.
