The One and Only Ivan
The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate is a true story of a gorilla who lives in a mall. Ivan is the main character in the book and you get his perspective. His best friends, Stella (an elephant) and Bob (a dog who lives with Ivan) live in the mall too. One day a baby elephant, named Ruby, comes to the mall. But once Ruby comes something happens to Stella and Ivan makes a promise to her. Ivan doesn't know that one promise will change his life, forever.
I recommend this book to 3rd graders and above. This book gets funny at some points. It was one of my favorites when I was in 3rd grade and still is to this day.
*COMING SOON* If you read this book, look for The One and Only Ivan in theaters August 2020!
*COMING SOON* This book has a sequel coming out on May 5, 2020 titled The One and Only Bob. After I read this book I will be sure to leave a review.
For the little ones, there is a picture book titled Ivan: The Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla by Katherine Applegate and illustrated by G. Brian Karas.
I have read The One and Only Ivan too! I is really good, but sad too.

Yes. I'm very happy to read it too. It came out today and I will get the book May 7th. I am also excited to watch the movie of The One And Only Ivan. My sister and brother love it too. (We listened to it on car rides and in the morning while my dad makes breakfast.)
