Snowy Owls

Snowy Owls is one of a series on Arctic animals by Julie Murray.  A small map of the Arctic Circle shows the many countries included in the snowy owls’ territory.  Backgrounds for photos are colorful and work well with the large, black font, except on a couple of dark blue pages, where the text is harder to read.  Physical descriptions define males, females, and chicks.  Facts on what they eat, behavior patterns, and habitat are beautifully presented on these birds who mate for life.  Still and action photos are captioned and many pages include Uncovered! text boxes with additional facts.  A final WOW! page concludes the book with other related details.  The glossary defines words highlighted on pages.  Index and an ABDO website finish this engaging 32 page book.
