This Book Holds Many Surprises

How Monkeys Make Chocolate: Unlocking the Mysteries of the Rainforest Adrian Forsyth explores the wonders of the rainforest and the connection between animals and plants. Just as we need bees to pollinate trees and plants, so they will continue to produce much needed food, the rainforest needs monkeys, a rodent called and agoutis and even a bat to help spread seeds and create new growth in the rainforest. This book holds many surprises for readers, as we learn that the rainforest is the source of many products we depend on daily for food and medicine. Without the rainforest both animals and humans would not have the quality of life that we now have. Beautiful pictures, easy reading and words of wisdom combine to make How Monkeys Make Chocolate a winner.
