James and Harriett return to the city to visit their mother. They are surpised to find their alley empty; turns out the who street is being leveled. They find a younger sister who also has wings. A starling directs them to their mother who now lives with a kind woman. ( )

This book is best for me because Roger and Harriet return to their mom,
coming from Overhill farm. On the way to their house under the dumpster
they find Jane. She is stuck in a building while a big truck with a string that has a big ball attached to it is knocking all the buildings down. And they're getting her out just as it is about to knock down that very building.

I like the idea of of them bringing Jane to an old and pretty house where their mom now lives. I like the kiss on the nose when Jane comes back to her mom. ( )

I should note that I've reviewed all four Catwings books in the same post.

Basic Reason for Beginning: Well… My introduction to Le Guin was The Beginning Place, which is not the best book to start with. I liked the prose style, but not so much the story. When I saw she’d written stories about cats with wings, aimed at children… Suffice to say that I thought “Bingo! Perfect way to get a more enjoyable introduction to Le Guin’s works.”
Basic Reason for Finishing: I went SQUEE a lot in the half hour it took to read the lot of these.
Texture: Uhm… Well… I was quite busy going squee. Beyond that it feels a little like a warm blanket that’s comfortable in some spots and a little scruffy in others, I suppose best described it.

Full review here.

Rereadability: Oh, very high. Not because there are countless things more to get from the story — which I’m sure there might be for readers more inclined to read for that — but because of the sheer loveliness of the books.
Recommendation: I’d recommend these to anyone who loves cats, winged creatures, or Le Guin and to anyone who has children or is still a child at heart. They are utterly lovely books. ( )

Such a cute book - the Catwings come back for more adventures, this time returning to their original home in the city to look for their mother. Danger ensues, but eventually they locate not only their mother, who is now a happy house cat, having grown too old for alley life, but also a little black sister, Jane, who also has wings! I enjoyed this very much and will be buying the series now that I've seen how cute it is. ( )

The plot of Catwings Return is about a litter of young kittens who are in a barn without their mom. They adventure out into the city to find their mom and come upon a black catwinged kitten. They bring the kitten on their adventure and eventually find their mother.
