In snack we are reading a book called The One And Only Ivan. Ivan is a silverback gorilla. He can be very funny sometimes. Ivan thinks a lot. One of the things Ivan thinks is that humans talk too much. Also Ivan says that gorillas are very patient and humans, well, he thinks not so much. Ivan used to be a wild gorilla, but now he lives in the Big Top Mall at Exit 8. It’s not an appropriate habitat for any animal to be living in. Ivan has been living there for 27 years (9,855 days). The domains that they have for the animals are like jail cells. Ivan has a lot of stuff in his domain like a TV and a mini swimming pool with dirty water! But Ivan can do a lot of things that other gorillas can’t do, like he can draw. He says that he draws a very good banana but the owner (Mack) of the Big Top Mall, says that his drawing is a piece of junk. Poor Ivan. Ivan once thought he was the only gorilla left then… he saw a real gorilla on his TV in his domain.
Ivan has friends like Stella (elephant), Bob (dog) and other animals like that. Everything is all normal, until the animals find out that a new animal is coming. Everybody is excited, but Stella is not. She says it is a elephant and she is a elephant. She is worried that she is going to have to share her cage with the elephant. The cage that she has is already so tiny, she could only take two steps each way!!! Stella was right. It was an elephant but it was a baby. Her name was Ruby. Ruby starts calling Stella Aunt Stella and they become connected. Like they are family!!! A couple weeks later the book is very sad. Sadly Stella DIED!!! Ruby is very sad. The Big Top Mall is sort of like a circus. The Big Top Mall has shows and Ruby is so sad she can’t even do her tricks!!! Also Stella knew that she was going die so she made a promise with Ivan to keep Ruby safe and have her live somewhere other than The Big Top Mall. Ivan said … yes!!! Ruby has a lot of questions for Ivan. A couple minutes after Stella dies, Ivan is so sad. He wishes his heart was made of ice. Poor Ivan. If you like this blog, you’ll probably like this book. You’ll have to read the end to find out!!!
THE END!!!
