What a fun book this is! Although the story line is fairly simple, I greatly enjoyed this book. Sometimes its just nice to be able to read for pure amusement, and this book gave me that type of experience. The plot consists of a kitten who sees the full moon and thinks it is a bowl of milk. She attempts many times to reach it but fails each time. In the end, she finds a nice bowl of milk waiting for her at home. The kitten reminded me of Lily, the mouse (Lily and the Purple Plastic Purse also by Henkes) because of her spunkiness and curiosity. I liked the repetition in the book that lends itself to choral participation by students during a read aloud. The black and white illustrations are simple but give just enough detail and are pretty humorous on some pages.
