This is my first time coming to Big Bad Wolf actually, and it is in Sarawak. I find it amazing. They have a wide variety of books, especially children-friendly books. So I got some for my students as well.

I am regular customer of BBW. I buy for the children, the children’s books. Different types. It is worth to invest.
PATRICIA HULUI, 36, WRITER
I have been following Big Bad Wolf for a long time and I always buy their books through Shopee. So, I saw the notification through social media, so I came out on the first day. I usually buy thrillers, mystery, murder mystery. But since I became a mother, I am now trying to buy children’s books. I hope the new generation will continue to read instead of playing games. For me, I have a son, so I hope that instead of giving him a handphone, I try my best to give him books.

We found out about this book fair from Facebook. We have been waiting for three years now. We have been shopping for books with BBW for three years since our children were young. So, we always look forward to it. The genres we usually buy are Kids Fun Books, Montessori, and Science Fiction. The books are of very high quality.
It is rare to find such books in Malaysian bookstores, especially for the Kids Fun Age. Since it is an annual event, we grab the opportunity to get quality, educational books suitable for reading at all general levels. Instead of browsing on Google, it is better to have physical books. Moreover, the books available have various stimuli like sound, touch, and sensory stimulation for children.
