The one and only Ivan

I just finished a truly amazing book. It's called the one and only Ivan, by Katherine Applegate. It's the story of a silverback Gorilla named Ivan who lives in a cage in a mall. He was taken away from his home in the jungle as a child, like his friend Stella the elephant. A stray dog, Bob, lives in his cage. But when a baby elephant named Ruby comes, things quickly change for Ivan. A truly amazing story, great for all ages. Whether you are a fantasy lover or realistic type, I promise you will love this book.
