Kitten's First Full Moon is about a kitten that sees the moon and thinks it is a bowl of milk. As much as she tries to get at the moon, she cannot reach it. When she gets home, she finds a bowl of milk waiting for her.
This book is a good fable with a wonderful lesson. The pictures are simple as is the language.
School Library Journal says that the "charcoal and cream-colored palette, the understated illustrations feature thick black outlines, pleasing curves, and swiftly changing expressions that are full of nuance." (School Library Journal
This would be a wonderful book for a theme on perseverance. The example of the kitten's tenacity is an example of that. This may also be a good book to use in a theme surrounding animals.
