Ivan

the Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla

I can remember seeing Ivan once when I was a young girl at the B&I Shopping Mall in Tacoma. Although it was fascinating to see a real live Silverback Gorilla, I can remember feeling sad that he was stuck in such a small space, and not in the jungle where he belonged. This book is a great companion for those that have read The One and Only Ivan. I also think it's an important book to share with children to launch a discussion about the importance of protecting our wildlife, and keeping them in their own natural habitat. I would recommend this books for adults as well, especially those that remember Ivan.
