The one and only Ivan [large print] / Katherine Applegate ; illustrations by Patricia Castelao.
"Ivan has spent 27 years behind the glass walls of an enclosure in a shopping mall, and is used to humans watching him. He rarely thinks about his life in the jungle, and occupies himself with television, his friends Stella and Bob, and painting. But when he meets Ruby, a baby elephant taken from the wild, he is forced to see their home, and his art, through new eyes. The author blends humor and poignancy to create Ivan's first-person narration in a story of friendship, art, and hope. An author's note depicts the differences between the fictional story and true events. Winner of the Newbery Medal, a #1 New York Times bestseller, and a forth-coming major motion picture."-- Back cover.
