Title: Wonderful Alexander and the Catwings: A Catwings Tale (Catwings #3)
Author: Ursula K. Le Guin
Illustrator: S. D. Schindler
Publisher: Scholastic
Year: 1994/2003
48 pages
In this third Catwings volume, there's a character for children to identify with. Alexander is the apteryx of the cat world (as is Mrs. Jane Tabby, but a mommy cat is not how children see themselves). Despite his flightlessness, he is able to help Jane fille master her (view spoiler) PTSD and speak again, solely by means of rapport, unconditional positive regard, and the talking cure. This will be very useful in some future Catwings/Rats of NIMH mashup.
