Good Book
I really enjoyed this book. On each page I could find at least one fact that I didn’t know, and each was very interesting. I also liked the way the facts were mixed in with the story.

When Wildlife Wong is far away from home, in a country called Taiwan, he looks after a sad rescued orangutan called Polly. She has been stolen from her mother and kept as a pet. He vows to help save wildlife and, when he moves to Polly’s true home of Borneo, he comes face-to-face with her wild relatives. Some are angry, some are naughty, and some are nice. What will Wong do when a playful orangutan locks him in his office?

This book is great for readers who are interested in wildlife and conservation. It tells the story of Wong and his love for unusual animals. I especially how he has worked to save orangutans from captivity. I also learnt lots of nature facts. 5 out of 5!!!
I loved the funny stories about what the orangutans get up to in the rescue centre, they certainly are naughty.
I would love to visit some of the interesting places in this book like the rainforests in Borneo.
I learnt lots about primates and how similar they are to us. I wish we could climb and hang from trees as well as they can!
