A lovely chlidren's book aimed at lower primary readers. Great illustrations. ( )

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. ( )

Alexander the kitten leaves home in search of adventure and finds himself stuck up in a tree with no way to get down. Jane, the littlest Catwing, helps him, and the two become friends as he comes to live with them. Eventually he reconnects with his family, but still gets to stay with the Catwings. ( )
