Synopsis
Soon to be a major motion picture Winner of the Newbery Medal and a #1 New York Times bestseller 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).

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    Amazing book!

    I bought this to read aloud to my kiddos ages 10, 8, and 5. Each time we sat down to start the book they all wanted to sit close so they could see the few pictures that are included. But the pictures are completely unnecessary because the description the author provides are more than enough for an amazing mental picture of what’s happening. Even for my youngest son! We all laughed, cried, and were sad when the book was over. I loved it so much that I’ve ordered copies for several friends to read to their children as well!

  • It's a great story with great detail my daughter couldn't stop raving about.

    I bought it for my daughter since she said her teacher was reading it to the class, but she had stopped reading it to the class. This was because of Covid. My daughter was upset because she really enjoyed the story. She kept on telling me about it as she read it til the end. The author put in great detail!
