Catwings

Le Guin wrote this highly acclaimed novel about a very special litter of kittens. Mrs. Jane Tabby has always longed to get away from the cramped alleys of the city. She knows it is too late for her, but she thinks her longing may be the reason her litter of kittens was born with wings. When they are old enough to fly, she sends the four kittens, who become known as catwings, out into the world to find their home. But they find that danger does not lurk only in city alleyways.

Award-winning author Ursula K. Le Guin has been praised for her gentle tales of the catwings kittens. The series' first book, Catwings, was picked as a Book to Look For by legendary Science Fiction writer Orson Scott Card. In the second catwings story, the kittens decide to visit their mother in the city. But before finding Mother, they find a very special kitten who needs their help.

Ursula K. Le Guin delights young listeners with her Catwings books. Kitten Alexander Furby's parents think he is just wonderful. But when he goes exploring on his own one day, he gets stuck in a tree. Soon a black kitten with wings helps him and brings him home to a whole family of winged cats. How can Alexander repay her kindness?

Award-winning author Ursula K. Le Guin's Catwings books are beloved by younger readers. In the final book of the series, youngest catwings kitten Jane is fed up with life on the farm, and decides to strike out on her own. She soon finds that people will take advantage of her for their own gain, and tries to find someone who loves her not just because she is a cat with wings.
