Summer Reading Round 2 1/2


After reading Endangered and Threatened, I remembered a book that I have ordered with book order bonus points and hadn't actually gotten arou
D to reading yet.  A majority of the kids had read it and highly recommended it and so I dug into it next.  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this delightful realistic fiction story based on the true story of a mall gorilla, Ivan.  The story is told In first person perspective through the eyes of Ivan.  Ivan is a gorilla that was captured as a baby and raised as a pet by humans.  When he was too large to care for, a cage at a mall became his new home, along with a few other animals.  
Ivan is an artist and uses his skills to fulfill a promise he made to his friend.  Learn how Ivan rescues a Stella, a baby elephant from her captive life in the decrepit mall.
