The Catwings books are among the most beloved, and treasured books my children and I have ever stumbled upon. The messages of motherly love, overcoming fear, and the value of family are beautifully demonstrated, with excitement, imagination and in a way 'kitty' lovers of any age, will never forget. Though the story is much more than it appears on the surface- the last paragraph still lingers and echos words of hope in this tired 'little girls' heart.
A wonderful little series- for people of all ages.

Sweet little story of cats born with wings

At first Mrs. Jane Tabby can't understand why her four kittens have been born with wings. Then she realizes that they will be able to fly away from their dreary and dangerous city neighborhood. (Mrs. T. can't come with them because she is going to marry Mr. Tom Jones, and ``I don't want you children underfoot!'') So the kittens sadly leave their mother and go off into the world. After some mild adventures, they settle in a wooded area and learn to forage for themselves. Then danger appears in the form of a large owl. Luckily at this point Harriet, the smallest kitten, discovers Susan and Hank Brown from a neighboring farm. The tale ends happily with the cats snuggled up to the children and the promise of a safe new home. Cats are always appealing, and winged cats should be doubly so.

A captivating fantasy for children with very beautiful color illustrations. Great for kitty lovers.
