 Intro

This book is about a gorilla called Ivan, a baby elephant called Ruby, a dog called Bob and another elephant called Stella. Ivan lives in a cage which is in a shopping mall. Ivan is accompanied by Bob Stella and so  on. Ruby, the baby elephant joins Ivan after she was captured in Africa. Ivan doesn't want Ruby to become a one and only like him. " But Ruby showes Ivan there might be another way to live".  

Thoughts.

I enjoyed this book because Ivan was in 1st person.

I liked how the book had so much animals in it.

There was a small part where a girl called Julia doesn't understand Ivan's painting. [ I didn't really like that part.]

Who Should Read It? 

If you adore animal stories this would be nice. 

If you like friendship books this would be a good one.

If you like Quite sad stories this would be okay.
