Slightly peevish Moe, a big blue monster-ish creature, works as a foil for the exuberant Peanut (smaller and peanut-shaped): "'Too much splashing,' said Moe. 'Not enough puddles!' said Peanut." Peanut finally becomes "TOO MUCH!" for Moe, who takes a timeout to regroup. Subdued, Peanut cleans his room; meanwhile, Moe misses Peanut. This silly friendship story plays out in lively cartoon illustrations.
