    Katherine Applegate's The One and Only Ivan makes you think about what it means to be human by showing you the world through the eyes of a non-human. This book is narrated in the first person by its protagonist, Ivan. Ivan is quiet, easygoing, artistic, and a gorilla. Until a baby elephant called Ruby moves into the domain next to Ivan's at Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade, Ivan calls his glass domain home. But with the help of spirited and playful Ruby, the helpful young human Julia, a feisty stray dog called Bob, and the wise, big-hearted elephant known as Stella, Ivan realizes what home really is--and starts an adventure trying to get there. I would recommend this book to animal-lovers and deep-thinkers. It has a lot of example of animal abuse and neglect in circuses, so if you are passionate about that issue you will probably enjoy The One and Only Ivan. Ivan also makes the reader think about the rights that all creatures have: do animals have a right to live as humans? Are humans obligated to care for animals? Who has a right to a true home? This book has very little action, but a lot of heart. Its language is simple and innocent, being told through the eyes of a gorilla, so even early readers may find that they can enjoy the One and Only Ivan. However, the simple language doesn't take away from the story for more advanced readers. In fact, it only adds to the sadness and philosophical thinking of the story. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a story that will make them think, smile, and cry. Reading The One and Only Ivan gives the reader both questions and answers about being a human and not being a human. I strongly recommend The One and Only Ivan to anyone who wants an original, moving, and deep story to read.

    My fifth grade teacher read this book to my class and, I right before she left for maternity leave. As you read each page you can almost picture what kind of emotions Auggie must have; Disability, homeschooling, people staring. Yet he is a loving, kind great hearted person. not a bully based on how his peers treated him. Wonderful book, no WONDER everyone loves it.

    This book was recommended to me by another teacher. Our class read it as a Read-Aloud and really enjoyed following Auggie in his first year of middle school. Auggie has never been in a public school before and has a hard time adjusting to all the students and classes. It is a great book and I recommend it to all readers ages 9+. Grab this book off the shelf, find a comfy seat and enter Wonder.
