    • 4/5
      What an informative book. The talking bookworms are an added bonus.
    • 3/5
      Genre: Informational, this is an upper level book for 3rd graders and higher. This book talks all about how chocolate is made and where it comes from. They start by talking about the cocoa beans and the whole process of taking the beans and making them into chocolate. It talks about every part of the tree and tree roots and how they all play an important role in the growing of the cocoa beans.
    • 4/5
      The whole sordid, fascinating story behind how we get chocolate, including brain-eating maggots and spitting monkeys with ongoing commentary from two bookworms.
    • 4/5
      No monkeys No chocolate is a delightful informational book about all the things that go into making chocolate and how without the rain forest we wouldn’t have any chocolate. I thought this was a very cute book and I enjoyed it! The reason I enjoyed it so much was because of the added detail in the book. The little added detail I liked most was the “bookworms”. At the bottom right corner of each page there were two bookworms who discussed what was happening in the book. They provided funny insight into what was happening and added humor because they kept making jokes. For example when talking about cocoa pods the one said to the other one “Is a cocoa pod like an iPod?” I feel like these little characters helped add to the story. I also feel that they are something that would interest a child. They also really helped the reader to understand the information in the book better. For example the one bookworm said, “So that’s how cocoa flowers get the pollen they need to make seeds.” This offered extra information that wasn’t on the page and helped the reader, mostly likely a child, to understand the text better. This helped to achieve it’s overall purpose which was to inform. I also liked how the author at the back added extra information on cocoa beans and rainforests. This insert in the back helped the reader to understand the main message better which was that we need to preserve rainforests. Another thing that I liked that helped drive the message as well was the author included a “what you can do to help” at the back of the book. I liked this because it helped to get the reader involved and make a change. The final thing I enjoyed as the illustrations. The illustrations were so big and expanded across the whole page; they were also very detailed almost as if they were an photograph. Overall I enjoyed this book very much not only for the message it had but also for the added details and information the author provided. I feel this made this book that much more special.
