Too Much! Not Enough!

Opposites attract, but it may take awhile to understand the differences between playmate buddies. How will these personality contrasts be handled? Take a bulbous blue character like Moe who likes quiet and pair him with the perky, petite Peanut, who is wild about noise. Placid Moe thrives on order, while restless Peanut relishes chaos; Moe takes a light breakfast, while Peanut just can’t get enough to fill his belly. When Moe wants to rest, his roommate Peanut just wants to play. The two continue to bicker over their conflicting desires until Moe explodes and withdraws, leaving Peanut alone. Only then do both Peanut and Moe look at their differences and strike a balance because friendship is more important. The exciting illustrations of children’s gear and household stuff, along with the inviting images of pudgy Moe and bouncy Peanut and their colorful interactions will help kids relate to and enjoy the story. Both the colorful drawings and the short, pithy text show the reader how differences bind and enrich friendships.
