The One and Only Ivan pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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.
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 was a beloved celebrity at the zoo, which houses the nation's largest collection of western lowland gorillas. Ivan was well known for his paintings, which he "signed" with a thumbprint.
Katherine lives in California with her husband and two children.

評分紐伯瑞奬的確是相當程度上的質量保證。對小象完全無感,印象最深的倒是耐心和善地養大主角、主動塞錢給窮睏員工、盡量避免苛待動物、結果卻被主角跟員工一起背叛的可憐老闆Mack,以及結尾那句”This is, after all, still a cage“。大象對動物園的定義很棒——”A good zoo is how humans make amends“,這並不是大團圓,隻是現狀下所能達到的相對理想收場而已。
評分特彆感人的一本書。雖然說是青少年讀物,但是成年人看一點都不覺得幼稚,相反,還覺得被書裏語言的真摯和智慧所打動。
評分Ivan的畫……

《独一无二的伊凡》是一本很感人的书,充满着动物之间、动物与人之间的温情。 书中一开始呈现的场景是大猩猩伊凡、大象史黛拉还有其他小动物被关在巅峰商场里展出。透过伊凡的自白和动物们的对话,我们知道,伊凡年幼时曾在森林里快乐、自在地生活,但后遭狡猾的猎人诱捕,卖...
評分今天北京阴雨霏霏,去小区门口取快递时,发现几株玉兰树上已是花苞朵朵了,原本那是每年春来时喜人的景色,尤其是给上下班的路上增加色彩,但如今每日开车,反倒没有机会遇见,差一点就错过了报春的消息。 这本书也是闺女推荐的,复工后被现场和远程交流的夹击下,工作与生活时...

評分动物之梦 这是“一个根据真实故事改编的童话”,故事的主角是大猩猩,叫伊凡。伊凡喜欢“气泡瀑布般的汽水,喜欢朝人丢它的粪球”,但很少有人知道,大猩猩伊凡最喜欢的事情是画画。 会画画的大猩猩伊凡,来自美国儿童文学家凯瑟琳·艾波盖特,获得纽伯瑞儿童文学奖...
