The fun and mischievous daily adventures of head mutt Earl and his kitty chum, Mooch, take center stage in Patrick McDonnell’sMuttscollection,A Little Look-See. As with McDonnell’s previous collections, the always-adorable Mooch and Earl can be counted on for hearty laughs and endearing moments as they share their pets’-eye views when “their peoples” are not around. InA Little Look-See, we learn through Earl and Mooch that yes, animals do practice those irresistible expressions that melt our hearts, and we witness a not-so-dignified debate over the age-old question of who is cuter: dogs or cats?

The creative style and classic charm ofMuttsearns McDonnell the admiration of loyal readers, prominent national organizations, and fellow cartoonists, as well as frequent comparisons to cartoon-strip greats such asPeanutsandCalvin and Hobbes. In 2000, McDonnell received the National Cartoonists Society’s highest honor, the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year for 1999. With a following that spans 20 countries,Muttshas also garnered notice internationally, winning Germany’s prestigious Max & Moritz Award for best international comic strip. Go ahead and take A Little Look-See at the spectacular world ofMutts.
