Publisher Description
Move over, Bert and Ernie: there's a new odd couple in town! Exuberant Peanut and steadfast Moe are roommates and best friends . . . most of the time.
Peanut is messy. Moe is neat.
Peanut is loud. Moe is quiet.
Peanut always wants more. Moe always wants a little less.
Can these two learn to appreciate their differences?
With bright, bold, eye-catching illustrations and two adorable characters, Gina Perry has created a book that will appeal to all the Peanuts and Moes in the world -- whether they think it's too much or not enough!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Peanut and Moe share a house and bunk beds, and not much else. It's a personality thing: the goober-shaped Peanut is boisterous, inconsiderate, and judges every situation to be "not enough." The disciplined, cautious Moe, who looks like a slab of blue clay with bear cub ears and a big pink nose, prefers a life that isn't "too much." During the course of their day together, it becomes evident that trouble is brewing. Moe cleans up Peanut's cooking mess while Peanut clowns around with the soap bubbles. When Moe complains, "Too much noise," during a music session, the heedless Peanut, who is playing three kazoos and banging on a drum, sings, "Not enough kazoos!" Peanut ultimately offers the exasperated Moe heartfelt acts of contrition, and Perry's (Small) quirky cartooning and all-dialogue, opposites-driven text should hold the attention of younger readers. There's a bit of a power differential in this relationship Peanut even gets the vast majority of the text's exclamation points but, despite their differences, a final spread shows that Peanut and Moe's affection for one another is unconditional. Ages 3 7.
