Kitten`s First Full Moon

A curious and thirsty kitten sees the full moon for the first time and becomes convinced that it is a bowl of milk. She chases the moon through the night, intent on having a taste, and ends up experiencing a cluster of distressing, unexpected moments. Though she licks a bug by mistake, and takes a painful spill down the stairs, her pursuit only intensifies as she chases that big, glowing saucer. No matter what gets in the way (even being trapped at the top of a tree!), the bowl of milk still tempts her from the sky. How will she finally reach it? Beautifully absent of color, the buoyant, playful art is illustrated with thickly lined B&W gouache and pencil drawings. Winner of the 2005 Caldecott Medal. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
