Termites on a Stick: A Chimp Learns to Use a Tool

32 pp. | Star Bright | July, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59572-121-1 $17.95
(3) K-3 Little Chimp learns, by observing his mother and by trial and error, how to "fish" for termites; poking just the right size stick into their mound yields a nice, juicy snack. The simply told story is paired with expressive, realistic-looking illustrations. An afterword provides information on chimp behavior and anatomy, termite nest structure, and how readers can help protect chimps.
