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.
搞瞭半天還是從馬戲團到瞭動物園,唉。
評分前半部分真的讓人心碎。Stella死瞭好難過,但幸好Ruby和Ivan都有個相對好的結局。感慨裏麵說的,人類有很壞的,也有好的,human can sometimes surprise you。作為同樣的人類,我麵對醜惡的人性時也經常提醒自己,不是所有人都那麽壞,要有信心,有耐心。要不是這樣,人類早完蛋瞭,一點點人性之光可以燎原。
評分It is really a children's book with quick but happy ending though most of the time the world is crueler and more hopeless than it seems to be in books. It reminds me of those disheveled and hairless animals like goats confined in cramped rooms in our old local zoo in the old days. Thinking of that makes me feel sad.
評分詩一般
評分看到最後纔知道原來Ivan是確實存在的一頭銀背大猩猩,從被捕獵到被豢養被展示直至被沸騰的民意解救到動物園。Ivan很清楚動物園依舊是一個籠子,但是這是它能有的最好結局瞭,能有其他被解救的大猩猩一起抱團養老。它真是智慧生物啊。這本書的文字非常好,極富詩意,因為這是一隻大猩猩的獨白,過四級英文的人就能看瞭。
《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...
評分一本好的儿童文学作品,应当给读者——无论是小读者还是其家长——以思考和启迪。就此而言,《独一无二的伊凡》无疑是一本出色的儿童小说。 伊凡是一只的银背大猩猩,当它还是宝宝的时候,就被人类从非洲丛林囚到商城的游乐场里。27年来没有见过同类,从不追问自己从哪里来,...
評分“我应该怎么向别人讲述这个故事呢?”这是我看完美国作家凯瑟琳·爱博盖特笔下的《独一无二的伊凡》后想到的问题。这是一个根据真实故事改编的童话,却让我这个成年人动容。我不知道该如何向别人讲述这个故事,也许是我看懂了童话故事里面的现实,刺痛了我的心。 ...
