The One and Only Ivan is a bestselling novel about hope and friendship. It is about a real silver-back gorilla named Ivan who was held captive(被囚禁的)for 27 years. Narrated by Ivan himself, a beautiful story of friendship unfolds between Ivan, an elephant named Stella, and a stray dog named Bob. Ivan is comfortable in his area in the shopping mall where he watches TV and makes artworks that are sold to the people who watch him through glass windows far from the jungle. Stella, on the other hand, has a longer memory than Ivan and she longs to live in a zoo where larger living space is provided. Ruby, a new baby elephant, which has been saved from the wild, is introduced to the Big Top Mall where she is to learn circus(马戏表演)tricks from Stella. Soon after, Stella becomes sick. Before she passes away, she charges Ivan with taking care of Ruby. Ivan begins to recall his time in the jungle and his desire for freedom and to help Ruby.
