Kitten's First Full Moon

Kitten's First Full Moon
by: Kevin Henkes

"Kitten's First Full Moon" is a story about how a kitten compares the moon to a large bowl of milk. The story was written by Kevin Henkes. All the illustrations in the book were black and white and seemed to me to be drawing, probably created with pencil sketch. The pictures were simple, but helped tell the story of the kitten and the obstacles it faced when trying to reach the "large bowl of milk". I could easily look at the pictures and tell by the face the kitten was wearing how he felt about not being able to reach the moon. I feel that kids would really enjoy this story because it is a fun, short, easy read and has pictures that are entertaining. I would use this book in the classroom as a read aloud in a younger classroom. It would also be a good book for students who haven't been reading long.
