SuitabookPale Male

- Reading
- Pause to examine the watercolours alongside the text, then discuss whether city wildlife should be welcomed, managed or understood on its own terms.
- Themes
- Wildlife and city life: Pale Male’s nesting and residence bring a wild predator into close proximity with New York City residents. The book leaves its stance open to more than one reading.
- Predation, family and survival: The book depicts Pale Male hunting pigeons, tending chicks and experiencing changes involving mates and offspring. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Pay particular attention to violence and harm.
