by William Steig
*****
William Steig is classic! I love how he creates such believable and human-like characters out of average animals. In this tale (no pun intended) he tells of an expert dentist, who happens to be a mouse. I enjoy the descriptions of how this little dentist carries out his practice on much larger animals (because of course every kid wonders), and how he "out-foxes" a fox. This book is witty, matter-of-fact, and can be enjoyed again and again (and again, and again...)
