Book Summary

A gorilla named Ivan lives a pretty easy life at the zoo and doesn't miss his life at the jungle at all and he loves art. One day, a baby elephant named Ruby is brought to the zoo, along with change. Ivan had to make sure that everything changed for the better, or something bad will happen.

Favorite Part or Fun Fact

I love that Ivan likes to make art with bananas.
