"Australian author (and avid traveller) Sarah Pye met Malaysian Dr Wong Siew Te in 2012. She asked what she could do to help sun bears. He replied, ""do what you do best"". Those five powerful words sparked a Doctor of Creative Arts degree, an enduring friendship, and many adventures."

Reviews for Wildlife Wong and the Bearded Pig: Wildlife Wong Series Book 4

I enjoyed this book. I think that the most interesting part is when Wildlife Wong tells his story about how he liked taking care of animals since childhood and devoted his life to caring for them. I also found the information about how they researched the bearded pigs fascinating. A captivating fact I learnt is that bearded pigs used to migrate to find food up until 50 years ago. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes animals and wants to learn more about them. Ethan Lee, age 13 This book has interesting facts about the life of bearded pigs. Both kids and adults will learn a lot. I thought it was amazing that if you stretched out a pig's intestines, they would be 10 metres long! I recommend this book to anyone who loves animals or the environment, or just if you're looking for something interesting to read. Noa, age 9 Our students love Sarah's books and are fascinated by the environmental issues and the endangered animals the books are based on. Wildlife Wong books align closely to many curriculum priorities across all primary school levels. Highly recommended! Deanne Jeffers - Teacher
