Kitten’s First Full Moon

For my Caldecott Medal winner I chose “Kitten’s First Full Moon” illustrated and written by Kevin Henkes. This book caught my attention because it is about a cute little kitten, illustrated in black and white and tells an adorable tale. This picture book was awarded The Caldecott Medal in 2005 along with these Honor Books: “The Red Book” by Barbara Lehman, “Coming on Home Soon” illustrated by E.B. Lewis, written by Jacqueline Woodson, and “Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale” illustrated and written by Mo Willems. It a sweet story about how a little kitten mistakes the moon for a bowl of milk. She tries with all her might to get to the bowl of milk until she becomes tired, wet and hungry and wants to go back home. It is at home where she finds a big boof milk waiting for her as soon as she arrives. kittens_first_full_moon
