Welcome to Litsy!

Doctor De Soto is a MF picture book about a mouse dentist that is the best in town but refuses to treat “dangerous” animals. But when a Fox shows up and needs his help, what will Dr. Soto do? This book is best enjoyed as an ID. Here is an activity sheet to help students make predictions about the story http://www.judynewmanatscholastic.com/blog/2020/03/doctor-de-soto-classroom-acti...

In this F book Doctor De Soto, an intelligent and superb dentist, works on patients of all sizes with the help of his wife. Although he has a strict policy to not treat animals dangerous to mice, he decides to help a Fox with a toothache. Doctor De Soto and his wife must outfox this sneaky fox, and the ending is truly a laughing feat! This Newberry winner would be an excellent IR for students that could be paired with an activity. #UCFLAE3414SP20

This Newberry F picture book tells the story of a mouse dentist that only helps animals that don‘t eat mice, but ends up helping a fox, who tries to trick him. He tricks the fox instead! This book would be perfect for RA! One UDL & EL strategy is 3.1, activate and supply background knowledge, and, 6, continually monitor students‘ comprehension.

I LOVE THIS BOOK. This F book tells the story of a mouse dentist who typically refuses to serve dangerous animals but takes pity on a fox with a severe toothache. It becomes apparent that the fox is trying to trick the dentist, so the dentist comes up with a plan. This book is so silly and I would love to tell it to my class! I think it would be most effectively in early elementary levels but could work for all grades. #ucflae3414sp18

This F National Book award winner by William Steig would be a great book for a read aloud. Doctor De Soto is the best dentist around, at least for animals that don‘t eat mice. One day a fox shows up at his door and is asking for Doctor De Soto‘s help. He has a dilemma, does he take the risk and help the fox or does he send the fox on his way? This great read will definitely keep children entertained. #ucflae3414f17

I get to see my sister's kids at the end of July for my brother's wedding so my #latestbookhaul is in preparation. #junebookbugs

For my author study glog, I did William Steig and I checked out this book for my presentation. A great read written and illustrated by William about a mouse dentist who treats all kinds of animals. Very cute and entertaining! Teacher resource: http://www.scholastic.com/browse/collateral.jsp?id=32413 #UCFLAE3414sp17

As a Newbery Honor winner, this fable is about a mouse dentist that treats animals of all sizes! However, he does not treat animals dangerous to mice, until a fox shows up at his door one day and he takes a chance. This is a great book to teach fables and problem solving while keeping it fun for young children in a cute and funny story.

#24in48 - Our first book. A favorite of ours. We've read it about 332 times, and it never loses its appeal. Clever. Great words like "bicuspid" throughout. Mice out-foxing their predator. Awesome start to the readathon.
