Although Ivan is a gorilla, he doesn't live in the jungle. Instead, he lives inside a run-down mall with a few other animals. For the most part, Ivan is satisfied with his life until one day Ruby arrives. She's a baby elephant, and Ivan and the other animals can't stand the thought of her growing up inside of the mall. When you care about someone else, you can make yourself do things you never would have dreamed to be possible.
Once again, I have fallen in love with an animal story. The simplicity of the story telling and the depth of the emotion draw in the reader. This was a story I could not put down until I was finished. More than anything, you will want the animals to be successful, to make their dreams come true. You can't help but imagine that the real Ivan would have loved this story, too.
