Again, so cute it could bring a tear to your eye. This is a perfect gift for anyone. It's a wonderful concept, and it couldn't have been written better.

"Mooch thought and thought.

What do you get someone who has everything?"

This book is an adorable way to teach a lesson in looking past the material. Mooch tries to find his best friend the perfect gift, but his friend already has everything he could ever want. What is Mooch to do? Parents and children will go through his gift-giving quest together until Mooch arrives at the realization that the best gifts don't cost a thing and take a lot more time and effort than just stopping by a shop.

Adorable little book from the creator of the Mutts comic strip! I dig his art style a lot, especially in terms of facial expressions. McDonnell nails it!

The sweetest book I've read in a long time! No better message for any age.

I read this a long time ago, and today, as I was cleaning out and reorganising my bookshelf, I read it again.

God, it's good.

For a rather simply illustrated book with animal characters and not much going on, it packs a really incredible emotional punch- this thing made me cry. I think it's a book that many more people should read, especially now that we're nearing the holiday season; in a world of so much something, so many of us have forgotten the joy of nothing.

This is a perfect, adorable, and heartwarming book.
