Ivan The Remarkable True Story Of The Shopping Mall Gorilla is written by Katherine Applegate and illustrated by G. Brian Karas. This story is about two gorillas named Burma and Ivan and they live happily in the jungle but one day they were poached by humans. They ended up in a mall. About 13 years later the humans did not want Ivan in the mall so they all voted against the guy who owned the mall and they got him out. Later on, he was released in a zoo and he lived the rest of his life there. I really liked this story because it taught you to never take animals from their habitat or their families. This book is for 8-10 year old because there’s not much writing and it’s not hard to understand.
