Description
Mooch the cat desperately wants to find a gift for his friend - Earl the Dog. 'But what do you give the guy who has everything' Mooch wonders. The answer, of course, is nothing! This simple story features characters from one of the world's most successful comic strips - Patrick McDonnell's Mutts. With the same warmth and charm that he brings to the daily cartoon McDonnell's delightfully spare illustrations and simple text have created a book with the makings of a classic - perfect for gift-giving all year round.
Reviews
