About the Novel:
The One and Only Ivan is told from the perspective of its protagonist—a silverback gorilla named Ivan. Ivan lives in the Big Top Mall and Video Arcade with other animals, like an elephant named Stella. A stray dog named Bob spends most of his time visiting with Ivan in his habitat. Ivan loves his life. He gets to watch TV as much as he wants. He gets to do what he loves—painting pictures that are then sold in the mall’s gift shop. Soon Ivan begins to notice things. The visitors aren’t coming as much as they used to. Stella’s leg is hurting her more and more. Mack, the mall owner, brings in a new baby elephant to help bring in more visitors. This elephant, named Ruby, is defiant and doesn’t want to perform like Stella does. It becomes Ivan’s sole mission to help get Ruby out of the mall and into a zoo where she can have a better life.
