Written and Illustrated by Patrick McDonnell
Mooch the cat wants to get his friend Earl a present! The only problem is that Earl already has a bowl, a chew toy, a bed, and everything a dog could ever need. What do you get for a friend who already has everything? Nothing! So, Mooch sets off for his search of Nothing, to give to his friend Earl. It takes him a while, but eventually he finds it when he stops looking. He puts it in a big box and takes it to his friend.
"There's nothing here," said Earl. "Yesh!" said Mooch. "Nothing... but me and you." So Mooch and Earl just stayed still and enjoyed nothing... and everything.
This story shows the true merits of a good friendship. When Mooch gives Earl his gift of Nothing, the two sit together and enjoy each other's company. Readers are reminded of the fact that the greatest gift is friendship, not material objects. I think this is a charming book for all ages.
