Earl has everything: dish, chewy toy and a bed. Then inspiration strikes. "Nothing" is the perfect gift for someone with everything . . . but where to find it? Mooch has heard his people say theres "nothing" on TV-but somethings always on. He hears theres "nothing" at the stores-but theres plenty of everything. After a moment of Kitty Zen, Mooch wraps up a big empty box and presents it to Earl. " Theres nothing here, said Earl. / Yesh! said Mooch. Nothing . . . / but me and you. " And the two of them enjoy nothing-and everything-together. A perfect meditation on gift giving and friendship, this is a great present for the Type-A hoarder in your life. It will do double duty as a conversation starter for older kids at storytime.
