Hidden Walkingsticks (No Backbone! the World of Invertebrates)

the long version

Are those twigs moving? No, they’re walkingsticks! These unusual insects look so much like sticks that some animals can’t tell when one is standing right next to them. These are just some of the surprising facts children will discover as they explore the fascinating world of these animals that are masters of disguise. Large, eye-popping photos and clear, grade-appropriate text will engage emergent readers as they learn about the natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of this unique invertebrate. Hidden Walkingsticks is part of Bearport’s No Backbone! The World of Invertebrates series.
