The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
From the cover, I thought it was going to be a story about a gorilla hating a new elephant for stealing the spotlight, but I was completely mistaken.
For a children's book, it was an enjoyable read. I can see the draw for many kids in this story as it does a great job of reminding me of how animals can teach important life lessons. It had a very Madagascar/Charlotte's Web vibe to it.
I would recommend this as a read aloud for an elementary classroom.
