Otis runs an antique store. He has sold his last product and has absolutely nothing for sale. Suzie Grump comes in and wants to buy nothing. She pays $300 for the wonderful nothing! All the other shop owners in town throw out their goods in order to make money off of nothing. Eventually, Suzie Grump realizes she need something and goes back to Otis to buy everything she needs. Otis sells out again and the vicious cycle almost starts all over with Tubby Portabello, but Otis shoves him out of the store!
The story has short, quick sentences in a larger font and big pictures that start off in light colors then, when everyone is busy searching for nothing, the pictures become filled with activity and brighter.
This was a very humorous story and one that could easily strike up a quite in depth conversation with a child.
