"Crunch likes his comfy bed, but most of all he loves...eating!" When a mouse named Cheddar shows up and asks Crunch to exchange some food for a friendly hug, Crunch's selfishness takes control. Eventually, Crunch becomes worried about Cheddar's safety and leaves his cage for the unknown. A spare text and lively, expressive illustrations create a message-y but warmhearted story.
