Ivan The Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla is a story written by Katherine Applegate and illustrated by G. Brian Karas. One day, two gorillas were selected to go to a new place in the USA. Once they were there, one of them died. The remaining gorilla learned to do human stuffs in a house, until he was moved to a cage in a shopping mall, where there was nothing to do. People suddenly became angry that the gorilla was there and tried to sign petitions. Then the gorilla was shipped to a zoo, where he liked it. He then met other gorillas and was very happy. This story is very good, the pictures are good, and I would recommend this story to 6-9 year olds.
