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? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 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 on every page, adding humor and further commentary, making this book accessible to readers of different ages and reading levels. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBack matter includes information about cocoa farming and rain forest preservation, as well as an author's note.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMelissa Stewart is the award-winning author of more than 150 science books for children.
