Amazon Description

What can Mooch the cat give Earl the dog when Earl has everything? The answer, of course, is nothing. This simple picture book story features characters from McDonnell's popular comic strip, "Mutts." Illustrations.

One Potato Review

Spare line drawings befitting the minimalist ambitions of this story about a cat to whom nothing (on TV, to buy, to do) looks an awful lot like something. Though it probably won’t succeed in rebooting your children’s holiday expectations, here is hopefully everything they will ever want to know about existentialism, without all the madness and doom.
