A beautiul, funny, engaging, sad and moving story.
A great read aloud 📖 It was enjoyed by my children aged 6+. Think would be a great individual read for age 8+.
The book is fiction but based on the true story of a gorilla named Ivan who was captured in the Democratic republic of Congo, transported to the US and then spent the next 27 years in a cage in a road side shopping mall with some other animals.
The story tells the story from Ivan's point of view and how he wonders if there is another way to live.
It opens the conversation about how animals are treated.
A great question to explore this is:
Is it ever okay for animals to be kept in captivity?
