KITTEN'S FIRST FULL MOON by Keven Henkes

In this adorable black-and-white children’s book, the kitten runs into a series of misfortunes as she attempts to get to the giant bowl of milk in the night sky.  From accidentally swallowing a bug to falling into a lake, poor Kitten finally gives up the chase and treks back home to find a bowl of milk waiting for her on the porch.  Kitten’s First Full Moon is a tale of perseverance and learning and is illustrated by simple but lovely charcoal drawings.  This is a perfect read-aloud book and will be enjoyed mainly by kids up to 7 years old.  It can be found in the Easy section of the library under E HEN.
