I just adored this charming story about a little kitten who saw "a little bowl of milk in the sky". This book is definitely deserving of the 2005 Caldecott Medal.
This is an all too familiar story of chasing after something you really want, only to find that you really didn't have to look too far to find it. The little kitten just can't seem to get that bowl of milk in the sky, even when she climbs up high in a tree. When she gets to the top of the tree, she sees a "big bowl of milk" in the pond below and goes down to get it. In the end, her misadventures lead her back home, where a bowl of milk is there waiting for her.
I will definitely read this book to my students because I think they would love it. They will enjoy guessing what the little kitten is going to do next. I'm really glad I chose this book to read.
