![]() ![]() ![]() I would recommend this book because in the 10 years of my life, this was one of the few books that caught my eye, and I liked it so much I read it six times! My last favorite part is when Stella dies in her domain. What is my favorite part? when Ivan paints his pictures of a zoo for Ruby. It is very emotional and unlike any other book I have read. The is book is specials because Ivan narrates it himself and it is done in a very special way, a way that I have never seen before. It made me feel so lucky to not be neglected and for my parents to care about me. I loved when Ruby's problems were solved. ![]() It was so interesting when the dialogue happened between Ivan, Stella (another elephant), Bob (a dog), and Ruby. Cruelty to animals is absolutely unacceptable. In this book, the author is trying to make us realize that circuses are not good. Ivan is the gorilla's name and he is an "ape artist." He uses actual paint, pencils, and crayons to sell pictures in the gift shop at the circus. The One and Only Ivan is about a gorilla who lived in a circus downtown all his life, and decides the fate of a newly arrived baby elephant (Ruby) and himself when he realizes circuses are wrong. ![]()
