Kitten’s First Full Moon
By Kevin Henkes
It was Kitten’s first full moon.
When she saw it, she thought,
There’s a little bowl of milk in the sky.
And she wanted it.
So she closed her eyes and stretched her neck
and opened her mouth and licked.
But Kitten only ended up with a bug on her tongue.
Poor Kitten!
Still, there was the little bowl of milk, just waiting.
So she pulled herself together and wiggled her bottom
and sprang from the top step of the porch.
But Kitten only tumbled –
bumping her nose and banging her ear and pinching her tail.
Poor Kitten!
Still, there was the little bowl of milk, just waiting.
So she chased it –
down the sidewalk, through the garden, past the field, and by the pond.
But Kitten never seemed to get closer.
Poor Kitten!
Still, there was the little bowl of milk, just waiting.
So she ran to the tallest tree she could find,
and she climbed and climbed and climbed to the very top.
But Kitten still couldn’t reach the bowl of milk, and now she was scared.
Poor Kitten!
What could she do?
Then, in the pond, Kitten saw another bowl of milk.
And it was bigger.
What a night!
So she raced down the tree and raced through the grass
and raced to the edge of the pond.
She leaped with all her might –
Poor Kitten!
She was wet and sad and tired and hungry.
So she went back home –
and there was a great big bowl of milk on the porch,
just waiting for her.
Lucky Kitten!
哈!猫版的 “众里寻他千百度”,温馨又可爱!很可惜在我的孩子小时候我们没有遇见这本书。如果遇见了,我一定会告诉孩子那小猫咪之所以有一碗奶在家门口的台阶上等着它,是因为它之前的苦苦追寻……
@Fang Xu Thank you for such a lovely comment!🙏 I almost can picture how you would read this book with your child!🌹
Strongly recommend young parents to learn English by reading to your children. I did, I might have benefited more than my daughter
