Today, we did a video chat with Melissa Stewart. It was awesome. We learned things about being an author, making Reader's Theater, and advice about researching. She told us about an upcoming book she is writing called No Monkeys, No Chocolate. I am really looking forward to reading it in 2013. We learned that monkeys take cocoa pods and break them open to eat the pulp. Then, they spit out the seeds and the seeds make new cocoa trees. Without the monkeys we would have no cocoa seeds to make delicious chocolate. When we were talking to the author we had a lot of good questions. We had a great time.

Hi Matt,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed our "visit" as much as I did. I should let you know that talking about No Monkeys, No Chocolate was kind of a secret. It's a really exciting book, but I really shouldn't reveal too much information about it yet. 2013 seems like a long way off! It will be hard to wait.
