Chocolate has a delicious presence in children's literature, from magical chocolate frogs in Harry Potter to Willy Wonka's entirely edible chocolate room.
So it's not surprising that writing and storytelling plays its part in a special half-term project, at the Eden project, in Cornwall, this week. The Chocolate Jungle mixes delicious chocolate activies with literary and educational talks.
There will be storytelling sessions every day at 12 and 2pm, at the Citrus Grove in the Mediterranean Biome.
