"Having a hard time getting back to this book, largely because I haven't developed any liking for Snowman or any of the other characters I've met so far. Without characters in whom I've invested some care, the reading becomes an intellectual pursuit and I feel I get enough of that outside of fiction. I've been told that I should come back to this novel after reading the second in the series and I'm debating that." Jan 24, 2012 03:06pm

What a wonderful book about the immigrant experience. It is told completely in pictures which delightfully capture what it is to live, shop, and work in a place where you don't understand the spoken or written language or how things work. Besides the...more

A lovely and short little book. You can depend on Ms. LeGuin not to muck up a nice story with a lot of useless explanation. The four kittens were born with wings, and that is that. Their journey to safety and love is illustrated sweetly by S.D. Schin...more
