Very Entertaining
This book is very entertaining and unique. I liked how I was able to learn new words like pygmy and dung. The book is very fascinating. I think that kids and adults would love to read this book.

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?
