以一只猩猩的视角来讲述故事 除了字数比较多以外各种难度评级都很低 bella看的还是很乐呵的 我对她能否看出所谓辛辣幽默不抱希望
Ivan is an easygoing 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. In fact, he hardly ever thinks about it at all.
Instead, Ivan thinks about TV shows he’s seen and about his friends Stella, an elderly elephant, and Bob, a stray dog. But mostly Ivan thinks about art and how to capture the taste of a mango or the sound of leaves with color and a well-placed line.
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.
Katherine Applegate blends humor and poignancy to create Ivan’s unforgettable first-person narration in a story of friendship, art, and hope.
Ivan是只猩猩，它住在一个大商场里，很喜欢画画。它有朋友，一个是大象Stella，另一个是一只叫Bob的狗。后来来了一只叫Ruby的小象，之后，大象Stella因脚肿不治身亡。不过，Stella临死之前向Ivan提出了一个要求，请它照顾小象Ruby。Ivan在它的电视机里看到了一个完美的地方，叫动物园。它画了一幅关于动物园的图，然后在旁边写上“家”。后来，很多人看到了这幅图，开始抗议把Ruby关起来。于是，动物园的人把Ruby带走了。Ivan也被带走了。动物园里有一台电视，Ivan每天都可以看到有关野生猩猩的电影，了解到它们是怎么过的。有一天，Ivan被放进真正的猩猩的笼子里。一开始，它很害怕。后来，它跟其他猩猩混熟了，也看到了小象Ruby和其他大象一起玩，它感到很快乐。 作者Katherine Applegate用她幽默而辛辣的语言，搭建起了这个关于友谊、艺术和希望的故事。
