About This Book
When Kitten mistakes the full moon for a bowl of milk, she ends up tired, wet, and hungry trying to reach it. After a series of failed attempts - leaping, climbing, and tumbling - she finally returns home to find a real bowl of milk waiting for her on the porch. Kevin Henkes's simple, striking black-and-white illustrations earned this book the Caldecott Medal.
Why We Love This
The simple repetition and bold illustrations are perfect for the youngest readers, and there's something so satisfying about Kitten finally getting her bowl of milk at the end.
