From a New York Times bestselling author and creator of the beloved comic strip Mutts comes the beloved story about nothing—and everything!—perfect for gift-giving at the holidays and year-round.

Mooch the cat desperately wants to get his friend Earl the dog a gift for the holidays, but Earl already has everything he needs. “What do you give a guy who has everything?” Mooch wonders. Then it dawns on him: nothing! But it turns out nothing is harder to find than you’d think…

This perennial favorite from bestselling author and the award-winning creator of the beloved comic strip MUTTS sends a heartfelt, timeless message about the priceless value of friendship.
