Book description
Ivan's voice in this audiobook isn't just a story-it's a revolution. Picture a gorilla who thinks TV is his jungle, whose greatest art is sketching on a cardboard box, and whose biggest concern is whether the mall's AC is too drafty. Katherine Applegate nails it: Ivan's deadpan observations about humans (they "scream like startled birds") and his weirdly specific grocery list for Stella the elephant ("bananas, not canned bananas") land with perfect comedic timing. The narrator nails Ivan's calm, slightly bewildered tone-like a philosopher who just realized his "domain" is a glass cage next to a petting zoo.
Then Ruby arrives. And suddenly, Ivan's not just drawing mangoes on cardboard. He's seeing the cage for the first time. The audiobook's genius? It makes you feel the weight of that shift without a single sob. When Ivan decides to do something-using his art, his voice, his very existence-the tension isn't loud. It's quiet. Like the moment he finally admits, "I am Ivan. I am a gorilla." You'll feel it in your throat, but the narrator keeps it cool. No cheap sentimentality here. Just a gorilla realizing his life has been a bad reality show, and he's got a better script.
The humor? It's the kind that sneaks up on you. Ivan's critique of human culture ("They buy things they don't need to feel like they have something") isn't just funny-it's true. And the way he describes the mall's "art" (a plastic palm tree) versus his own sketches? Pure, quiet rebellion. You'll laugh until you realize you're crying. This isn't just a kid's book-it's a masterclass in how to tell a story that's both hilarious and devastating, all while making you question why we put animals in cages and call it entertainment. The audiobook? It's like Ivan's right there, whispering the truth over a cup of bad coffee. You'll listen to the end, then immediately want to tell everyone. And you'll be right.
