Kevin Henkes's acclaimed national bestseller about a kitten, the moon, and a bowl of milk was awarded the Caldecott Medal and was a New York Times Best Illustrated Book. This sturdy board book edition is perfect for little hands! Kitten's First Full Moon is an acclaimed modern classic, from one of the most celebrated and beloved picture book creators working in the field today. This memorable character and her suspenseful adventure are just right for the very youngest child. It is Kitten's first full moon, and when she sees it she thinks it is a bowl of milk in the sky. And she wants it. Does she get it? Well, no . . . and yes. What a night! A concise story, large type, and luminescent pictures play second fiddle to the true star of this book: a brave young kitten who sets out into the world on a quest that leaves her bruised, bewildered, and hungry, but that ultimately leads her back home, where something special is waiting just for her. This perfectly sized board book edition introduces Kitten to a new generation of the youngest readers. Indefatigable Kitten is a role model for all ages—taking chances, picking herself up when she fails, trying out new strategies to get what she wants, and figuring out when enough is enough. Winner of the Caldecott Medal, an ALA Notable Book, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book, and winner of the Charlotte Zolotow Award. Review: Very sweet, great gift! - I love this book!

Cute story.
Sweet story, A little longer than I expected, but not too long for a three year-old attention span. Easy to understand. Captivating illustrations all done and gray and white. Well Worth the time and the money.

This is the sweetest book. The board book style is great for toddlers 2-3 years old. Very sturdy with beautiful illustrations. It’s great classic.

Through two kids
I first read this book to my oldest, now almost 12, and it was the first book she ever read herself. We borrowed it from the library. She loved it, so I bought it for my youngest when she was 2. Now 6 she loves this book and it's a favorite bedtime story. She is past the reading level of the book, but she loves the antics of the kitten because it reminds her of her cat. I'm pretty sure we'll always have a soft spot for this one. Over 4 years the book had held up well considering how much it's read to my youngest and yes, her cat (who sits through every reading like it's never heard the story.)

Great book
This book is great. I first bought it in 2017 for my own daughter and recently as a gift for a new baby. The 2017 board book is of better quality (thicker boards) and has held up really well. The 2020 purchase is much thinner and you can bend the boards. Since it is going with a baby shower gift, I know it will last for a few years, but I expect the 2017 book to last longer than the one just purchased. BUT - but... this is a great story and very cute for all genders.

Excellent Bedtime Reading
Small kids will be mildly anxious then relieved that the kitten gets his bowl of milk in the end. For the very young, the book is printed on heavy, layered cardstock, more than an 1/8 inch thick for each page, so read it every night, it will last through several siblings The prose is very simple and short with repetitions to help beginning readers to easily associate sounds to word shape as well as encouraging the narrator to use a sing song voice. Studies show that babies learn language faster when spoken to in simplified "baby talk" so a nightly story as simple as this one is a great book for 1-2 year old while older siblings may learn what the word "milk" looks like. It is black and white throughout, just like our vision at night but the drawings were detailed enough to still be interesting. Somehow, without the stimulation of bright colors, the book seems even more restful, making it an excellent bedtime wind-down.

My two year old adores it. It's the first ...
My two year old adores it. It's the first story that she has taken interest in. And every time she looks at the moon she remembers the kitten.
