Katherine Applegate Easter & Lent Kids' Books Editorial Review
"The One and Only Ivan" is an extraordinary children's novel that tells the heart-wrenching story of Ivan, a gorilla who has spent most of his life caged at a mall. The book is narrated from Ivan's perspective, which adds a raw and melancholic tone to the story. Despite its simple language, the book is incredibly affecting and had me in tears multiple times. What makes it even more remarkable is that it is based on the true story of a gorilla named Ivan who lived in a mall. The themes explored in the book, including friendship, love, wildlife protection, abuse, and family, make it a powerful and thought-provoking read. It is a story that can be enjoyed by kids, teens, and adults alike. The book has won the Newbery Medal, and rightfully so, as it is a beautifully written and emotionally captivating tale. Some reviewers have mentioned that not much happens in the story until later on, and they felt that younger readers may not have the patience for it. Additionally, a comparison to "Charlotte's Web" raised expectations for some, leaving them wanting more from "The One and Only Ivan." However, these criticisms seem to be in the minority, as the overall reception of the book has been overwhelmingly positive. In summary, "The One and Only Ivan" is a must-read for anyone looking for a poignant and moving story. It raises awareness about the treatment of animals in captivity while also offering a touching tale of friendship and resilience.
