This charming is about a cat, Mooch, thoughtfully choosing a perfect gift for his dog friend, Earl who has already got everything. Finally, Mooch prepares a big empty gift box. The story ends by leaving the reader knowing that the greatest gift is no match with true friendship. The artwork features two characters' endearing displayed against a plain background. The work is expressed in limited palette and small cartoon drawings. McDonnell's minimal witty dialogue and space are also impressive. The combination of their efforts has helped convey a valuable and touching story of friendship for young readers.
