Kitten's First Full Moon
Kitten's First Full Moon wirrten and illustrated by Kevin Henkes
Genre: award winner (NYT Best Illustrated Children's Books of the Year, Caldecott, Zolotow)
Kitten's First Full Moon is about a kitten who sees the full moon for the first time and thinks it's a bowl of milk. Desperate to get to it, the kitten tries chasing it, jumping at it, and even climbing a tree--all with disappointing results. Of course, in the end, Kitten's owner brings out a bowl of milk for that tired kitty. Illustrated in black and white, this story is sweet and fun and little children will be able to relate to trying and trying to get something they just can't quite reach.
Lesson idea: Students can discuss a time they tried to accomplish something but couldn't seem to manage-- alternately, student can discuss times they saw something for the first time and misundertood it.
This would be a great book to warm up for the day with--getting students out of their chairs to stretch and "reenact" parts of the book to get moving and release some energy.
