In short poetic sentences, that are completely accessible to children, this modern fairy tale flows quietly to its happy ending. You can imagine Ursula LeGuin telling it to a group of second and third graders gathered closely around her. The voice in the book is full of warmth, wisdom and love. I see this book as a metaphor for how we humans grow up and are send out into the world, despite the fact that this world is not always safe and cozy. Almost unconsciously children will remember their first day in school, and how they all had to overcome obstacles, find new friends and carve themselves a niche in this new community. Psychologically this book can be very soothing to a child. A short story of a mother cat whose litter of four kittens is born with wings; once they're big enough, she encourages them to fly away from their city to somewhere safer. They make it to the woods, where they must learn to fit into the ecological system - and find some human friends. Beautifully detailed illustrations, subtly colored. Few people know what fish think about injustice, or anything else. (19) Owl is not a quick thinker. She is a long thinker. (20) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Sometimes, the sentences seemed a little wordy and the ending was rather abrupt, but it was still cute. My nieces (ages 4,6, and 8) all liked it just fine. ( )
