Katherine Applegate: Ivan & Friends 2-Book Collection, Gebunden

Klappentext

Discover the unforgettable world of best friends Ivan and Bob in this gorgeous hardcover box set, including the Newbery Medal-winning The One and Only Ivan and its incredible sequel, The One and Only Bob!

Ivan is an easy-going gorilla. Living at the Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade, he has grown accustomed to humans watching him through the glass walls of his domain. He rarely misses his life in the jungle. Mostly, he thinks about art.

Then he meets Ruby, a baby elephant taken from her family, and she makes Ivan see their home?and his own art?through new eyes. When Ruby arrives, change comes with her, and it's up to Ivan to make it a change for the better.

Continuing the story of these friends in *The One and Only Bob,*Bob sets out on a dangerous journey in search of his long-lost sister with the help of Ivan and Ruby. As a hurricane approaches and time is running out, Bob finds courage he never knew he had and learns the true meaning of friendship and family.

In the tradition of timeless stories like Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, Katherine Applegate blends humor and poignancy to create an unforgettable story of friendship, art, family, and hope.

The One and Only Ivan and The One and Only Bob feature first-person narrative; author's use of literary devices (personification, imagery); and story elements (plot, character development, perspective).

These acclaimed middle grade novels are an excellent choice for tween readers in grades 5 to 8, for independent reading, homeschooling, and sharing in the classroom.
