Kitten's First Full Moon


Henkes, K. (2005). Kitten's First Full Moon. New York, NY: Greenwillow Books.

Brief Annotation: All Kitten wants is that delicious bowl of milk seen in the night sky. Of course the reader knows that what Kitten thinks is a bowl of milk is really the moon, but the ensuing story is funny and touching. Through repetitive phrases and funny attempts to reach the moon, Kitten tries her hardest to reach her ultimate desire.

Genre: Children's Fiction

Grade Level: Pre-K-2

Readers who will like this: Younger readers who enjoy pictures, students interested in illustrations.

Response/Rating (1-4): ****. The illustrations in this book are absolutely stunning. What Henkes can do with just simple black and white is really beautiful and engaging. The story is quirky and funny, and will engage readers of all ages.

One question you would ask before a read aloud: What is something you've worked really hard to get? How did you feel when you got it?
