Doctor De Soto by William Steig*

Mr. Steig writes longer picture books for an older audience.  This story is a family favorite.  Dr. De Soto is one of the best dentists.  He and his wife (his assistant) however, will not service cats and "other dangerous animals".  When a pitiful fox shows up at their doorstep, they make an exception to their rule.  Will this decision end their practice and their lives?!
Received the Newbery Honor
Highly recommend.
Strategies: predicting, inferring
