The One and Only Ivan by Katherine ApplegateMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I never really imagined reading a story told by a gorilla, but now I can say that I have. Katherine Applegate has wriiten a heart-warming tale using simple narrative and engaging characters all told from the perspective of Ivan the gorilla. I enjoyed the story (which was inspired by a real gorilla), and I think many animal loving students will also like it. Applegate's style is easy to read yet full of emotion. I look forward to recommending this one when I get a copy for the library. I think it would make for a great read aloud as well.
