About the Book

A paperback Spanish edition of the 2005 Caldecott Medal Winner and #1 New York Times bestseller, Kitten’s First Full Moon, about a kitten, the moon, and a bowl of milk, written by the celebrated author and illustrator Kevin Henkes.

From one of the most celebrated and beloved picture book creators comes a memorable character and a suspenseful, emotionally rich adventure just right for the very youngest reader in a beautiful Spanish edition. 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.

A brief text, large type, and luminescent pictures play second fiddle to the star of this classic picture book—brave, sweet and lucky Kitten! “Henkes’s text, reminiscent of Margaret Wise Brown’s work in the elemental words, rhythms, and appealing sounds, tells a warm, humorous story that’s beautifully extended in his shimmering, gray-toned artwork.” said ALA Booklist in a starred review.

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.
