Entrepreneurship leads to friendship in this hilarious tale of stuffed-animal loving Moose, who starts a Stuffie Stand that's so successful, he's forced to partner with his annoying customer and competitor, Mabel.

Moose loves stuffies so much, he makes them himself. He's even turned his sewing shed into a shop, where he sells them to everyone in the neighborhood. They're cute and tasteful, with just the right amount of SQUISH! Everyone loves them, including Mabel, a neighborhood girl who also makes stuffies. Yet Mabel's stuffies are SO over the top-bedazzled, with hats, shoes, scarves, crowns. Truth be told, Moose is not a fan. But when his orders start to multiply and he can't keep up with the demand, Moose must do something very hard- ask for help...from Mabel!

This entertaining and astute picture book from up-and-coming funny-girl creator Maddie Frost will have readers laughing while they realize that it's okay to need help-and that sometimes, the people we think we don't like can turn out to be our closest friends.
