Jane on Her Own: A Catwings Tale (Catwings #4)

#866
Title: Jane on Her Own: A Catwings Tale (Catwings #4)
Author: Ursula K. Le Guin
Illustrator: S. D. Schindler
Publisher: Scholastic
Year: 1999/2003
48 pages

Thematically, all four of the Catwings books feature the threat of familial relationship rupture as their central concern. Since I have two cats from a litter of four whose prior owners still have the mother and the other two, yet look misty-eyed and bereft when we talk about the cats for too long, I can see why this is a compelling focus.

It should be said that most of the illustrations in this series really capture cat movements naturalistically, even with the addition of wings.
