I would use it in my future classroom, because it talks a lot about bugs which is an interest of young children. It is also interesting because it talks about the daily life of a Walkingstick

I liked the illustrations of this book. They are very simple with their bright green colors. I also liked how the author used onomatopoeia. This gives children a new concept to learn while reading this book.

I liked this book! I didn't know anything about a walking stick, so I learned something by reading this book. This book described the characteristics of a walking stick and its habitat. I enjoyed reading this book and I feel like children would enjoy it too.

The walking stick doesn't move. All day, she stays still. She can't run fast. She can't fly. She can only hide, camouflaged like a stick.

I enjoyed the illustrations, they went well with the facts given. It made it easy to visualize how the walking stick lives and goes about life.

I enjoyed this book about the walking stick insect because I had no prior knowledge about this bug. This book tells you about how they survive in wet weather conditions, how they protect their eggs, and mostly how they camouflage to hide from predators. This book also takes you on an adventure with the walking stick through the different seasons along with appropriate facts.

“Even though it seems like it would be fun to have a stick insect for a pet, it is important to let stick insects live in their natural surroundings.”

The illustrations were very average, but would be a supplement for a science lesson for young students.

This book explores stick insects and how children can find them all around them in their environment. I wouldn‘t like this book because I don‘t enjoy insects, but kids who are super fascinated in bugs would love to read this book.

This book shows the beauty of nature and the life of the walking stick. I like how this books shows the different seasons that the walking stick has to survive in and it‘s life cycle.

Published in 2016 and illustrated by Jonny Lambert, this nonfiction book is more of a story with small captions to dive deeper into the stories content! It involves a lot of onomatopoeias throughout the pages to bring life to the animals and environment the children are reading about! The illustrations are also very vibrant to catch the attention of young readers!
