«Kitten's First Full Moon» is the children's picture book by Kevin Henkes, published by Greenwillow Books in hardcover (40 pages, in English).
A little kitten mistakes the full moon for a bowl of milk. Driven by hunger and curiosity, she tries to reach it again and again with increasingly absurd antics: she jumps, climbs, runs, and even tries to lick it. Neither failure nor exhaustion can stop her determination.
Winner of the 2004 Caldecott Medal, written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes. This edition corresponds to the first American edition.
Aimed at children aged 5 to 6, it is a good choice for reading aloud before bedtime.
