Story
Ivan is an easygoing gorilla. Living at the Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade, he has grown accustomed to humans watching him through the glass walls of his domain. He rarely misses his life in the jungle. In fact, he hardly ever thinks about it at all. Instead, Ivan thinks about TV shows he's seen and about his friends Stella, an elderly elephant, and Bob, a stray dog. But mostly Ivan thinks about art and how to capture the taste of a mango or the sound of leaves with color and a well-placed line.

I loved this book!
I loved how descriptive the author was! I recommend this book to anyone who loves the ocean, and orcas. I’ve read this book several times and no matter how many times I read it, it’s still amazing. This book really tells you about hunger,sacrificing anything,coming back together, and sharing. You don’t have to if you don’t want to, but please, read it.
