Kitten's First Full Moon

Kitten’s First Full Moon was the Caldecott medal winner for 2005. It was written by Kevin Henkes. It is the story of a kitten that sees the moon and believes that it is a bowl of milk. She does everything that she can to get to it, but despite all of her efforts she can’t seem to make it. She has bad luck trying to get to the “bowl of milk” and when she finally gives up and goes home she finds a bowl of milk waiting for her. She realizes she is a lucky kitten.
I love this book. It is such a sweet story and the illustrations are amazing. They are all black and white and beautifully drawn. Children love this story because the kitten goes on an adventure to get to the moon. It is entertaining and a well loved story. Kevin Henkes has written many wonderful books for children. He is one of my favorite children’s authors.
