Review

"The black-and-white illustrations are simple and charming and accompany the words perfectly."

"The coarse but masterfully controlled line with heavy black outlines contains vigor and exuberance, creating a spontaneous feeling. A keen sense of design uses double spreads and panels to depict the action and Kitten's puzzlement....Simply charming."

"The narrative and visual pacing will keep children entranced, and the determined young heroine and her comical quest will win them over."

First line

It was Kitten's first full moon. When she saw it, she thought, There's a little bowl of milk in the sky.

Publisher's note

What a night!
The moon is full.
Kitten is hungry
and inquisitive
and brave
and fast
and persistent
and unlucky . . .
then lucky!
What a night!

Annotation

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.
