The One and Only Ivan

 For my short younger classic I read The One and Only Ivan written by Katherine Applegate. This book is about a silver back gorilla named Ivan who lives at a circus with a stray dog named Bob and an elephant named Stella. One day a baby elephant arrives at the circus and Ivan promises Stella to make sure that this baby elephant one day can live in a better happier place. I really liked this book. I thought it was really well written and the story even though it could maybe never happen the way it was written was really believable. Overall even though this book is younger it still is definitely a classic and if you have not read it you should.
