Good Trick Walking Stick

Good Trick Walking Stick book cover — Good Trick Walking Stick By Sheri Mabry Bestor Illustrated by Jonny Lambert

Good Trick Walking Stick — page 1 — Drop plop Drop Tiny eggs fall to the ground like a slow rain on an autumn day

Good Trick Walking Stick — page 2 — Leaves float on the breeze and hide the eggs The air turns crisp Snowflakes drift The woods are covered in a blanket of white Underground buried deep the eggs are safe Brrr You might wonder how tiny walking stick eggs survive through the winter in the snow The eggs look and smell like seeds to ants When the ants find the eggs hidden under the leaves they carry the eggs into their colony as food The ants eat the tops off the eggs just like they would eat the tops off of seeds When they are finished the ants drag the uneaten parts to their garbage dump area still underground Even though the tops have been eaten away the eggs are not harmed The eggs incubate hidden in the ant nest away from predators until they are ready to hatch
