The One and Only Ivan
By: Katherine Applegate
I am Ivan I am a gorilla and it's not as easy as it looks...............
The story the One and Only Ivan is fiction, with the three settings of the Big Top Mall, Ivan's domain, and the zoo. Ivan is my favorite character of the novel because of his determination, curiosity, loyalty, and artistic love. Ivan, the gorilla, brings true friendship to the story and he shows a soft side of a gorilla I would have never guessed in my life. I would want to be friends with Ivan in where ever he ends up in this jurassic book called The One an Only Ivan.
