I was meaning more that we enjoy reading about things that are different about Malaysia, like durien fruit and kite flying. I think the children will enjoy their trip more if they have some ideas about the country before they go there. The bird park sounds great. I'll add it to my list of things to do!

Could you recommend any children's books that are typically Malaysian? We love Kampung boy, which we bought when we visited Malaysia 10 years ago, but I'd really like to find some other books to help prepare them for our trip. Thanks!
