Allí se ha acostumbrado a los humanos que lo observan a través de las paredes de cristal de su jaula, y rara vez echa de menos su vida en la selva. De hecho, casi nunca piensa en ello. Iván prefiere ver la televisión y charlar con sus amigos Stella, una anciana elefanta, y Bob, un perro callejero. Lo que más le gusta a Iván es pintar, captar en sus cuadros el sabor de un mango o el sonido de las hojas de los árboles. Pero el día que llega Ruby, una elefantita bebé que fue separada de su familia, todo cambia, e Iván comienza a ver su hogar y sus cuadros de una forma distinta. Katherine Applegate combina humor, ternura e ingenio para crear la inolvidable voz de Iván en esta historia de amistad, arte y esperanza.

But when he meets Ruby, a baby elephant taken from the wild, he is forced to see their home, and his art, through new eyes. \u003c\/i\u003e El único e incomparable Iván \u003ci\u003eis a strong Common Core title that features these important strands and standards: first-person narrative; author's use of literary devices (personification, imagery); story elements (plot, character development, perspective).
