Termites on a Stick

Michele Coxon

The ability to make and use tools is one skill that distinguishes chimps and humans from other primates. Young chimpanzees learn from the adults in their group everything they need to know to survive in the wild. Here, a young chimp watches its mother tear off a branch, put it in a termite hole, and pull it out covered with deliciously juicy termites.After trial and error, the young chimp savours the sweet taste of success when it licks the delectable snacks off its very own stick. Author-illustrator Michele Coxon’s exquisitely detailed and scientifically accurate illustrations extend the information in the print. At the end of the book, she includes facts about chimpanzees and illustrations of a chimp’s handprint and footprint, the interior of a termite’s nest, and the soldier termite, this chimp’s tasty snack.
