What I enjoyed most about the book was Damai’s story. It had an emotional feel to it. There was happiness, sadness and in my head, I could imagine what it would be like to be a sun bear. The experiments were also interesting, like making electricity from potatoes and copper wire. I was able to try things that I had not done before. This story, set in the jungles of Borneo, is full of fun facts and information, emotional stories wild bears and interesting people. Enjoy the adventure into the wild!

This book is a great read for kids because it shows how Sun Bears coexist in their environment with other species. It can help kids understand how habitats are more complex than just plants and include the animals, too. The activities are fun and engaging, and this would be a great asset to a classroom or to a child’s personal library.

Great educational book for kids about sun bears and the amazing work that Dr Wong does in saving them. It's a wonderful teaching tool for any parent or classroom teacher to educate kids about saving nature and the environment. The experiments at the back of the book are great in creating a hands on experience in some of the things that Wong and the staff at the BSBCC do.
