not ready to say
goodbye to the pitter patter
of tiny kitten paws. 🐾
a little gloomy
today — grateful for all the
time I had with them. 🐈⬛
Had to say goodbye to Butterball & all her kittens today. I love them so much but can‘t keep them. 😭 They are so sweet and precious. 🐾

“Kitten was very small. The moon was very big. Kitten wanted the moon.“
This story could be used to discuss problem-solving and perseverance. The class could discuss Kitten's problem-solving skills and then brainstorm some of their own.
Kitten's First Full Moon by Kevin Henkes is a picture book published in 2004 and is a Caldecott Award winner. The illustrator uses lines to express movement in the pictures, define shapes and the form of characters, convey emotion, and direct the viewer's attention to certain spots in the picture. He also uses black and white to show contrast and the difference between light and dark spaces.
This story could be used to practice prediction skills as the kitten makes more attempts to get to the “bowl of milk. “
This is a picture book published in 2004 and tells the story of a kitten who mistakes the moon for a bowl of milk. The illustrations are in black and white and give off a soft energy that matches the kitten. The black and white also conveys the glow of the moon.
