Wildlife Wong and the Pygmy Elephant
Pygmy means ‘small’, but pygmy elephants are the largest mammals in Borneo, and they can be very dangerous. When Wildlife Wong is tracking bears in the rainforest, he tries his best to avoid them. He isn’t always successful. In this story, curious elephants take their own photos with his camera traps, an angry male chases him down the road, and a family of elephants sit on his car in the middle of the night!
So, what will Wong do when a lonely baby elephant walks across the road in front of him?

Wildlife Wong and the Elephant is an educational book (but not boring) that's easy and fun to read. It explains the bigger words to kids that may not understand them and includes cool experiments. I have learned some really interesting facts about elephants!

I especially enjoyed reading this book, as the elephant is my favourite animal. The facts are extremely interesting and I have learnt so many new facts about them. I really am glad that there are people like Wildlife Wong looking out for the elephants and helping to protect them. The experiments look fun and I can't wait to try them out!
