The one and only Ivan

This book is about a gorilla in a zoo named Ivan. The whole book is through this perspective and what he thinks. Ivan talks about how he feels and what it's like for him to live in a zoo(within a mall) and how he feels isolated. He had a twin sister named tag and has a stuffed gorilla he named not-tag. The owners daughter, Julia, brings things to him like crayons so he can color and draw. He also has a friend who is a small elephant named ruby. But you'll have to read the book to learn more about him.

I recommend this book because I think the way it's portrayed is very different from most books. The way it's written is as if it were like a poem book or something like that because there is like 2 sentences on each page. The book is pretty long though so it's not like you'll finish it right away. I really liked this book and I think other people will also enjoy it as well.
