A Kitten Called Moonlight

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Christian Birmingham. Charlotte asks her mother to tell her about the night that they found a lost kitten by the seashore. The unusual structure of the picture book, which is told completely in dialogue, brings the reader right into the intimate mother-daughter moment, and Charlotte's frequent interruptions to add details ring true. Rendered in chalk pastels, the illustrations include a mix of realistic figures and impressionistic backgrounds.
