{"product_id":"no-monkeys-no-chocolate-9781580892872","title":"No Monkeys, No Chocolate","description":"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? \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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlesbridge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580892872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.85h x 11.26w x 0.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Cook Prize - Honor Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Capitol Choices: Noteworthy Books for Children and Teens - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2013 pg. 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Best Picture Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2013 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2014 pg. 119\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2014 pg. 157 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e159207 \/ No Monkeys, No Chocolate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.1 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Melissa Stewart, Allen Young","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43972074209461,"sku":"9781580892872","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a4446b11-928f-4cdd-9ee7-c79602050b6c.jpg?v=1713281701","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/no-monkeys-no-chocolate-9781580892872","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
