Description
Some of the best books I read as a child caused me to feel just about every emotion, and Ivan is that kind of book for a new generation. Based on the unfortunately true story, the Newberry Award-winning Ivan tells the story of a silverback gorilla who lives in an enclosure next to Stella the elephant at a struggling shopping mall. Through a simple and painfully innocent first-person view, Ivan describes life in the enclosure. With the exciting new arrival of Ruby, a baby elephant born in the wild and taken from her family, Ivan begins to remember life before living at the mall, and nothing can be the same. Ivan soon discovers that one of his tricks, drawing, might just be his best shot at getting him and Ruby out of their tiny enclosures - but will the humans understand? A heartbreaking tale you won't want to put down. 319 softcover pages. - Laura
Publisher's Description of One and Only Ivan
This unforgettable novel from renowned author Katherine Applegate celebrates the transformative power of unexpected friendship. Inspired by the true story of a captive gorilla known as Ivan, this illustrated book is told from the point of view of Ivan himself.
Having spent twenty-seven years behind the glass walls of his enclosure in a shopping mall, Ivan has grown accustomed to humans watching him. He hardly ever thinks about his life in the jungle. Instead, Ivan occupies himself with television, his friends Stella and Bob, and painting. But when he meets Ruby, a baby elephant taken from the wild, he is forced to see their home, and his art, through new eyes.
In the tradition of timeless stories like Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, Katherine Applegate blends humor and poignancy to create an unforgettable story of friendship, art, and hope.
The One and Only Ivan features first-person narrative; author's use of literary devices (personification, imagery); and story elements (plot, character development, perspective).
This acclaimed middle grade novel is an excellent choice for tween readers in grades 5 to 8, for independent reading, homeschooling, and sharing in the classroom.
