The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate and illustrated by Patricia Castelao is a Newberry Medal children’s book that will appeal to all ages. We meet a silverback gorilla named Ivan who has lived in a cage in a shopping mall for most of his life. Ivan considers himself and artist and indeed, his crayon pictures are sold for $25.00. He lives with his friends, Stella the Elephant and Bob the dog. While Ivan and Stella are part of the show that the mall puts on three times a day, Bob is a homeless dog who has taken up residency with them. Ivan is an easygoing gorilla, mostly content with his life but when a young elephant called Ruby is brought into their midst and Stella becomes her protector, Ivan makes a promise to help Ruby get away from the mall and find a better home where she won’t be chained up and has other elephants for company. Ivan eventually comes up with a plan that sees huge changes come about for all the animals. I absolutely loved this story and Ivan is such a memorable character. The One and Only Ivan is a wonderful book for elementary children and animal lovers of all ages. The story is narrated by Ivan and is in turns funny, sad, loving and uplifting. An absolute children’s classic! Every year I read this book to my students. They ask to read it, even if they have read it before. Ivan is a gorilla who is part of a road side attraction along with an elephant also there and a stray dog that comes and visits. Ivan is content in his home with his painting and TV until there is a new arrival at the attraction in the form of a baby elephant. With this new arrival, Ivan remembers his life back in the jungle and also see his current life through a whole new set of eyes. It is an extremely touching story that definitely brought tears to my eyes. Great story on friendship and learning to see things from different perspectives. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Should animals be kept in cages? Should they be kept in zoos? This book is based on a real "Ivan". It will provide interesting, thoughtful discussion topics for students. ( )
