Katherine Applegate's many books include the Roscoe Riley Rules chapter book series, the picture book The Buffalo Storm, and the award-winning novel Home of the Brave. With her husband, Michael Grant, she wrote the hugely popular series Animorphs, which has sold more than 35 million copies worldwide.
Katherine was inspired to write The One and Only Ivan after reading about the true story of a captive gorilla known as Ivan, the Shopping Mall Gorilla. The real Ivan lived alone in a tiny cage for twenty-seven years at a shopping mall before being moved to Zoo Atlanta after a public outcry. He was a beloved celebrity at the zoo, which houses the nation's largest collection of western lowland gorillas. Ivan was well known for his paintings, which he "signed" with a thumbprint.
Katherine lives in California with her husband and two children.

《独一无二的伊凡》是一本很感人的书,充满着动物之间、动物与人之间的温情。 书中一开始呈现的场景是大猩猩伊凡、大象史黛拉还有其他小动物被关在巅峰商场里展出。透过伊凡的自白和动物们的对话,我们知道,伊凡年幼时曾在森林里快乐、自在地生活,但后遭狡猾的猎人诱捕,卖...
评分“我应该怎么向别人讲述这个故事呢?”这是我看完美国作家凯瑟琳·爱博盖特笔下的《独一无二的伊凡》后想到的问题。这是一个根据真实故事改编的童话,却让我这个成年人动容。我不知道该如何向别人讲述这个故事,也许是我看懂了童话故事里面的现实,刺痛了我的心。 ...
评分 评分用这个题目其实是并么有太多深意,只是因为读完这本书,耳机刚好传出这首歌的前奏。《请在九月结束时叫醒我》(《Wake Me Up When September Ends》)是绿日乐队的一首歌曲,大凡是成功的摇滚乐队,似乎都具备这种让人怜爱的特质——他们看似无所畏惧,可在冷冰冰的现实面前...
评分这是一本探索人与动物关系的书,尽管这样的探索偏向稚嫩化,但却足以打动人心。马戏团里的人与动物是雇佣的关系,好比人利用着、驱使着动物。可是,在这样的情形下,动物成了彻彻底底的赚钱的工具,人与动物的关系被异化。而动物园,一个看似美好的地方,动物可以在自己那一小...

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.
作者不仅仅是将自己的想象融入了一个真实的故事当中,更是把许多在人类看来匪夷所思的动物行为合理化成一个个可爱又感人的举动。谁又不是像Ivan一样孤独却又在尽己所能爱着身边每一个人呢?
评分儿童节读物,纽伯瑞的书内核都很一致,表面上是孩子与动物清澈柔软的善良和永恒的希望,底色都是成人世界里无尽的苦难,二者既对立又彼此营养,所以总是催泪又治愈。唯一的bug大概就是Mack有点过于惨了,但是买卖也是罪恶的源头吧...今天看一席里说买一只隼就有十只因此死掉,Ruby和Ivan的siblings也都是在这个过程中死的。

评分It is really a children's book with quick but happy ending though most of the time the world is crueler and more hopeless than it seems to be in books. It reminds me of those disheveled and hairless animals like goats confined in cramped rooms in our old local zoo in the old days. Thinking of that makes me feel sad.
评分其实是听完的,朗读的不错,尤其是那只狗????,又贱又萌。流落在城市的动物,最后的希望也只能寄托于人类,还好人们在一步一步的了解动物,关心动物。Ivan有了自己要保护的小象Ruby,这个时候他才是最强大的吧。U R always the one and only
