The top picture book about peregrine falcons returns in a new paperback edition with an expanded Author’s Note.
High in the sky, two peregrine falcons swoop and dive. The pair doesn’t know it yet, but they will lose most of this year’s eggs: the first clutch to a volunteer scaling the cliff, and the next to the harmful effects of DDT. Told against the backdrop of scientists’ efforts to understand the raptors’ decline in the wild, this illustrated nonfiction book tells the story of several generations of falcons as they’re taken to a sanctuary, reintegrated into the wild, and ultimately relocated to the ledge of a city skyscraper.
“Clear and engaging language…Beautifully illustrated.”—School Library Journal
“Dramatic oil paintings show falcons in various activities… this success story will be welcomed by nature lovers.”—Kirkus Reviews
“An attractive, informative picture book.”—Booklist

“[T]he repetition and simplicity of the text make this an appealing choice for group-sharing during storytime....[A] safe, not-so-scary depiction of Halloween that is appropriate for young listeners.”—School Library Journal
What could be better than an autumn trip to the pumpkin patch with the cutest cast of cat characters ready to celebrate Halloween? In bouncy rhyme, the folksy felines choose their pumpkins, wheel them home, and work together through all the steps of carving jack-o-lanterns. With the lanterns’ spooky and cheerful faces shining bright, now is the time to dress up and head out for trick-or-treating.
Tara Anderson, the award-winning illustrator of Nat the Cat Can Sleep Like That, depicts cozy and charming fall scenes in Pumpkin Orange, Pumpkin Round. Infectious rhymes by debut children’s author Rosanna Battigelli will make this a favorite in any season.
“Cats enjoy all the glories of a human Halloween in this peek at popular October traditions.” —Publishers Weekly
“Cozy, repetitious autumn fun...”
