Catwings Return, Catwings # 2
Safe and happy in their new home James, Thelma, Harriet, and Roger have a longing to see their mother again. She had told them in Catwings to fly away from the city and find a better life. Thelma and Roger think their new owners would be worried if all of them left so only James and Harriet set off on the long journey. Once there they find their mother and a surprise!
Catwings are gentle stories and while they may lack the high degree of social insight one expects from Le Guin's work, they still offer something to children. The importance of cooperation, consideration of other people's feelings, charity, and perhaps a hint of criticism about living conditions in major cities.
As always, a delight.
