About This Book
In this beautiful picture book, winner of the 2005 Caldecott Medal, Kevin Henkes,
captures the sweet, sometimes slapstick struggle of Kitten, who sees her first
full moon and thinks it's a bowl of milk in the sky.
Any child who has yearned for anything will understand how much Kitten wants
that elusive bowl of milk. Readers will giggle as she tries to lick the faraway
moon and gets a bug on her tongue, or leaps to catch it and falls down the
stairs. In an effective refrain, the narrator repeats, "Still, there was the
little bowl of milk, just waiting." The winning combination here is the
simplicity and humor of the story, paired with gorgeous black-and-white
illustrations with thick black lines (mirrored by the thick bold sans-serif
font) and shades of grey that are as luminous as a moonlit night should be.
Full-moon circles and ovals appear throughout the design: white circle full
moons on the endpapers, elliptical flowers by the porch, white circles of
firefly light, oval pads on Kitten's paws, and her big round eyes (especially
when surprised and soaking wet).
Children will love Kitten's quest and ensuing comedy of errors, but what they
will love even more is that there's an actual bowl of milk waiting on the porch
for Kitten. (Preschool) --Karin Snelson
