Do you love animals? Would you be interested to know how they think and feel? If so, The One and Only Ivan is for you! This is a touching book written by Katherine Applegate from a Silverback gorilla's point of view. This poor gorilla, named Ivan, lived in a cage at a mall for 27 years. Students were able to think about what this would be like through the writer's first person point of view. Korten's Crew enjoyed this book a great deal. We were able to design Buncee creations to demonstrate our learning about the heartfelt theme of this book. In addition, as animal lovers, we were able to understand that we can help make a difference. We've been enjoying many related Skypes this year!
