Dr. Desoto comments by Tori SJG.

Dr. DeSoto is a little mouse who is a dentist. He doesn't allow any animals that are scary or harmful to mice. One day a fox came by with a terrible toothache. The fox pleaded and pleaded. Dr. DeSoto discussed this problem with his wife. They decided they would treat him. When Dr. Desoto climbed in to the mouth he found a rotten bicuspid that would have to come out. They put him in a deep sleep with laughing gas, and they pulled the tooth out. When the fox awoke Dr. DeSoto said he would have the foxes fake tooth ready in the morning. As he was walking home the fox decided to try to eat the mouse tomorrow. Mr and Mrs. DeSoto were worried, but they came up with a plan. The next day the fox came in and the tooth was put in. Then Dr. DeSoto put some liquid on his teeth so they would never hurt again. When the fox tried to open his mouth he couldn't because of the liquid so he couldn't eat Dr. DeSoto. The book was given this title most likely because the main characters name is Dr. DeSoto. 4 Stars Tori SJG, 5th grade, 2011-2012
