Kitten's First Full Moon is a 2004 book by Kevin Henkes that won the 2005 Caldecott Medal.[1] It talks about a small kitten who has never seen the moon before, and mistakes it for milk, bringing about a number of mishaps for Kitten, including eating a bug and drinking lots of water.
The book is in black and white and typeset in sans-serif. The idea came from a quote in a less popular book by Henkes, "The cat thought the moon was a bowl of milk." Henkes gradually expanded on that, making it the book it is today.
