Solomon Screech Owl Goes to the Galapagos

By Beth Lancione

Book Overview

In the second of Solomon Screech Owl's stories, Sollie travels, with help from some whales, to the Galapagos Islands, where he meets birds that seem very different from himself. As he gets to know them better, he comes to understand that they all have more in common than he first thought. About the author & illustrator: Beth and Kathy, with their husbands Mel Lancione and Gary Haney, visited the Galapagos Islands in 2005 and saw, at very close range, all of the fascinating creatures that Sollie encounters in this book. Beth says, "A fellow traveler once told me, 'If you go only one place in your life, go to Galapagos.' I agree. I've been to many other places, but Galapagos is my favorite. I definitely wanted to show Sollie, and all of our readers, the wonders of these special, unique islands." Kathy says, "The Galapagos Islands are home to some of the earth's unique birds and animals. There are few places in the world where you can have an up close and personal interaction with wild creatures. The Blue-Footed Boobies captured our imaginations, along with the iguanas, tortoises, and many other birds. We want to share our love of Galapagos with you."
