"Grampa said something's waiting for me, / and I can't wait to know what." A boy (who looks younger than he sounds) explores his grandparents' farm searching for the secret. Finally, after following the moonlight out to the barn, he finds the secret (a newborn kitten) is definitely worth keeping. Atmospheric illustrations and a lyrical rhyming text capture the boy's anticipation and excitement.
