绘本是纯黑白的画风，故事讲一只猫咪第一次见到满月，她以为月亮是一碗牛奶，于是想尽办法想要得到它。
She stretched her neck and open her mouth and licked but only ended up with a bug on her tongue.
She sprang from the top step of the porch but only tumbled.
She chased it but never seemed to get closer.
She ran to the tallest tree but still couldn’t reach the bowl of milk.
Then she found,
Kitten saw another bowl of milk and it was bigger.
She raced down and raced to the pond.
Poor kitten! She was wet and sad and tired and hungry.
So she went home.
And there was a great big bowl of milk on the porch just waiting her.
又是一个happy ending。
幸运的小猫！简单的故事又有深意的哲理。活在当下，相信美好，那碗幸福的牛奶就会在不远处等着你。
