内容説明
What can Mooch the cat give Earl the dog when Earl has everything? The answer, of course, is nothing. This simple picture book story features characters from McDonnell's popular comic strip, "Mutts." Illustrations.
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. The stars of the Mutts comic strip, Mooch the cat and his canine friend, Earl, break out of the Sunday funnies into the picture book world. McDonnell applies his spare style, sketching his cheeky characters with only a few deliberate lines. Each has a distinctive featureMooch's red ellipse-shaped nose, Earl's Princess Leia earsthat makes them instantly endearing. With plain backgrounds, a limited palette and a small square trim size, the book looks like a blown-up cartoon strip (even the pages have a newspaper-like grittiness). But the story has more depth than the minimalist visuals would suggest. Here, Mooch searches for the perfect gift for Earl. "What do you get someone who has everything?" he wonders. (Earl is the proud owner of a bowl, bed and chewy toy.) Mooch mulls it over (red and black dots and bubbles indicate his deep thinking) and comes up with "Nothing! He would give Earl the gift of nothing." But where to find nothing? Mooch tries shopping (because "Millie came home from the store and said, 'There was nothing to buy!' "). But alas, "nothing was not for sale." How he solves the problem is pure delight, reminding young readers that the greatest gift is friendship, not things. Both Mutts fans and newcomers will appreciate McDonnell's clever wordplay and lovable characters, who prove that nothing can be everything. All ages.

猫のMoochはある日、親友の犬のEarlにプレゼントをしようと思い立ちます。だけど必要な物は何でも持っているEarlは一体何を贈れば喜んでくれるのか分からず、考えに考えます。そこで出た答えが・・・"Nothing"！ Nothingを手に入れるまでの過程や、箱に入れてラッピングするMoochの姿にクスッとさせられたり、プレゼントを開けた後の２匹の行動や、その思いを考えた時にジーンときたり。シンプルな絵と文章の中に色々な意味がこめられていて、読んだ後、なんだか心が温かく、幸せな気分になりました。６歳の我が子に読み聞かせようと買いましたが、子どもにはもちろん、大人にもお勧めの絵本です。自分の大切な人にぜひ贈りたい１冊です。

Spare, lovely, moving as a classic fable
2005/9/27
形式:ハードカバー
Whether you're a kid or an adult, or a dog or a cat, or a fan of "Mutts" or a newcomer, this book is going to grab you. What do you give your favorite dog pal when he has everything? Nothing. The cat's journey to find nothing reads to this child in an adult's body as both one of those funny Zen koan adventures...and a heartfelt exploration of friendship. McDonnell's color palate is especially interesting...he sticks to a simple combination of black and white and red, which makes the story all the stronger. Mutts, YESH!

weather you love Mutts, or never read it (like me) you will enjoy this book.
As a mom whose child became known as "the kid who has everything" (thanks to his grandma) even I myself have found it hard to pick out presents for him. this will be a christmas gift for my son, and I will ask his grandma to read it too him. This book is simple and cute with a great moral of how friendship is more important, that its the thought that counts, but it is done in a delightful way. This book had me laughing out loud when I read it and is a must by to gently remind kids to appreciate what they have
