Our class gave two thumbs up to the book
The One And Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. This story is told from the point of view of Ivan, a gorilla whose home for 27 years is a glass cage in the center of a mall. We feel every emotion Ivan has as he describes his lonely life without other gorillas or the ability to roam outdoors. His courage to free a baby elephant brought to the mall is exciting. It was hard for us to stop reading every day.
