PreS-Gr 2-In this warm reminiscence, a mother and her young daughter recall how a stray kitten came into their lives. As they sit together outside on a sunny day, both of them share in the telling of their favorite story. After returning home with her mother on a cold winter night, Charlotte caught a glimpse of something near the shore. She was unable to sleep and so the two of them went outside to search the beach, where they discovered a frightened white kitten crouching on a rock, illuminated only by the moonlight. They rescued him, cared for him, and named him Moonlight. Although the plot revolves around the lost animal, the book is really about the relationship between the mother and daughter. Charlotte loves telling the story because "it's about us-Moonlight and Mommy and me." The impressionist illustrations are rendered in chalk pastels. Subdued tones of blue and violet depict the night scenes, underscoring the cat's frightening predicament, while cheerful yellows and greens light the outdoor scenes and echo the mother and daughter's joy at their success. A lovely book for one-on-one sharing.-Linda M. Kenton, San Rafael Public Library, CA
