內容簡介：
伊万是一只随和的大猩猩。他在人类视线下，在有玻璃窗的世界中生活了太久，所以已经忘记了丛林的样子。同时，伊万又是一名出色的艺术家，每天沉浸在色彩和线条的国度里，直到他遇见小象露比。露比的到来唤醒了伊万沉睡已久的情感，彻底地改变了伊万的世界。
作者Katherine Applegate用她幽默而辛辣的语言，搭建起了这个关于友谊、艺术和希望的故事。
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. Then he meets
Ruby, a baby elephant taken from her family, and she makes Ivan see
their home—and his own art—through new eyes. When Ruby arrives,
change comes with her, and it’s up to Ivan to make it a change for
the better. Katherine Applegate blends humor and poignancy to
create Ivan’s unforgettable first-person narration in a story of
friendship, art, and hope.
關於作者：
Katherine Applegate’s many books include the Roscoe Riley
Rules chapter book series, the picture book The Buffalo Storm, and
the award-winning novel Home of the Brave. With her husband,
Michael Grant, she wrote the hugely popular series Animorphs, which
has sold more than 35 million copies worldwide. Katherine was
inspired to write The One and Only Ivan after reading about the
true story of a captive gorilla known as Ivan, the Shopping Mall
Gorilla. The real Ivan lived alone in a tiny cage for twenty-seven
years at a shopping mall before being moved to Zoo Atlanta after a
public outcry. He is now a beloved celebrity at the zoo, which
houses the nation’s largest collection of western lowland gorillas.
Ivan is well known for his paintings, which he “signs” with a
thumb-print. Katherine lives in California with her husband and two
children.
