Book Description
There's a hawk in the city! New York City is known for its sky-scrapers, subways, and hustle and bustle -- not for its wildlife. So everyone is surprised when a red-tailed hawk is spotted flying over Fifth Avenue, and even more surprised when he decides to settle down on the ledge of one of the Big Apple's swankiest apartment buildings. The hawk soon draws many admirers. They name him Pale Male and watch as he builds his nest, finds a mate, and teaches his little hawk babies to fly. Based on the true story of Pale Male, City Hawk brings New York City's favorite hawk to life in a story of family, perseverance, and big-city living.

A boy plays with tangram. He uses the pieces to lay a cat - a wonderful cat of course; you can leave that up to Martijn van der Linden. But the cat feels lonely... Suddenly I understood the cat. 'You want someone to play with!' I said. The cat still didn 't say anything. But I knew I was right. Now tangram isn't easy. The boy thinks he's laying down a new cat, but it turns out to be a dog, which chases after the cat. A new try turns out to be a crocodile - not what you would call a nice friend! The cat has to put up with a lot before the boy gets a really good idea. He lays down himself! Now they can play together. Artist couple Martijn and Maranke constantly reinvent themselves. In Tangram Cat , they surpass themselves yet again. All pictures in the book can be made with the tangram game that is included at the back.
