Monkeys Are Made of Chocolate: Exotic and Unseen Costa Rica by Daniel Quinn, Jack Ewing
5.0
I highly recommend this book. It was a great combination of storytelling, science and motivation.
I think the biggest strength of this book was that the stories the author chose to tell were based on real phenomena that this reader (i would assume most Americans too) are not familiar with the animals discussed or their habits.
Tis was a great introduction to Costa Rica, many of the animals discussed (native to Costa Rica) and the concept of biological corridors.
By the middle of the book, I was motivated enough to go read more on invasive species, biological corridors and Costa Rica specifically.
