No Monkeys, No Chocolate
Summary
Everyone loves chocolate, right? But how many people actually know where chocolate comes from? How it’s made? Or that monkeys do their part to help this delicious sweet exist? This delectable dessert comes from cocoa beans, which grow on cocoa trees in tropical rain forests. But those trees couldn’t survive without the help of a menagerie of rain forest critters: a pollen-sucking midge, an aphid-munching anole lizard, brain-eating coffin fly maggots - they all pitch in to help the cocoa tree survive. A secondary layer of text delves deeper into statements such as "Cocoa flowers can’t bloom without cocoa leaves...and maggots," explaining the interdependence of the plants and animals in the tropical rain forests. Two wise-cracking bookworms appear throughout, adding humor and further commentary, making this book accessible to listeners of different ages.
