Kitten's First Full Moon



Kitten's first full moon is a Caldecott Medal picture book written by Kevin Henkes. There are illustrations provided by author, and 32 pages.

"When Kitten mistakes the full moon for a bowl of milk she ends up tired, wet, and hungry trying to reach it."
--Follett Library Resources, http://flr.follett.com

Children will enjoy this book because it has a surprising ending children will love. The book also is unique in the way it portrays objects.
Potential use would be for an art class to draw objects that are seen in many different ways. Students can become creative trying to make images something they are not.
