The Gift of Nothing
For anyone interested in teaching children what money can and can't buy, this is a fun illustrated book with a great message. Mooch the cat is in search of the perfect gift for his friend Earl the dog. But Earl already has a bowl, a bed and a chewy toy. What do you get for a friend who has everything? Sound familiar? Mooch's choice of gifts and Earl's response offer great lessons about what matters most.
The publisher says it's best for children ages 4 through 8, but adults will enjoy this book as well.
