Kittens First Full Moon
The book that I chose to do my first book talk was called "Kitten's First Full moon" by Kevin Henkes. It was an award winning book that I very much enjoyed! The book was in my words so cute!! The kitten saw a full moon and thought it was a full bowl of milk. He must have been very thirsty because through out the book he was trying to reach the bowl of milk. He tried to lick it and all his tounge caught were stinky bugs. He tried to climb trees to maybe reach it but he still couldn't reach it. So after his long adventure of trying to drink the moon, he gave up and walked home. To his surprise he got home and there was a nice big bowl of fresh milk on the front porch. :) I think that this book could somewhat relate to life in the idea that sometimes what your trying to search and reach for has always been right in front of you. :) This book would be good for young children who are into the pictures, the illustrations are very good. K-1st grade children I think would enjoy it, very cute book, ya'll should read:)
The first thing that I noticed and liked about this book is that the illustrations were done in black and white. It correlated perfectly with the story because of the night sky and full moon that was present throughout it. I loved the moral of this book especially for the younger children because it is a great way to teach them to always dream big and also, like we discussed, that sometimes you can be searching for things that are right in front of you. It was a very adorable book and I think that little children would love it. It could be a great book to read just for fun at story time. This video would also be great for the kids so that they can get more interactive with the story. Very cute!

This book sounds really cute! I love kittens so I would be interested to check it out. I like that you pointed out that what we are looking for is sometimes right in front of us. The pictures are really cute also and are perfect for younger elementary (my focus!). I like that you included the video so we could see the whole story ourselves. Maybe for next time include an activity that can be incorporated in the classroom! Good job!
ReplyDeleteThis book is completely adorable! It had cute humor in it that I think little kids would enjoy and it also has a good message that we discussed, "to dream big". It's good to teach children to go after their dreams and that no dream is too big to achieve. Overall the book was very entertaining and the black and white was a nice touch to it!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a very cute book that would be great for littler kids!
ReplyDeleteIn my experience, you need a book that shows kids they can do something more than what they are used to for it to really capture their attention. Showing them this book would probably get them to "dream big". But, it's also just a very cute idea and it looks adorable.
I liked how you put a video in of the book:)
I can't wait to read it to young kids and use it as a way to inspire them, and to just have fun.
