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!


Customer Review: Gorgeous and Charming
A black-and-white picture book that is more gorgeous than any color book I've seen in a long time. Henkes' kitten is charming and beautifully drawn; the text is simple enough for a child to memorize but as rhythmic and elegant as haiku. A great book to read aloud at bedtime. Deserves the Caldicott medal fifty times over. My two-year-old niece was captivated by the bold lines of the illustrations; my four-year-old nieces loved the simple but clever story about the kitten who longs for that little bowl of milk waiting for her in the sky - the full moon.
Customer Review: Disappointed
I'd read good reviews about this book, but I found it very disappointing. I didn't find the black and white particularly advantageous to the book or the story. Dull is the word that comes to mind for the story itself. The cover is the best part of the book--the cat is cute. I purchased this for a gift but now I'm sorry that I relied on reviews before the purchase. If I'd seen the actual book and read the story, I would never have bought it.
