Immediately, I asked her if she has been to Zoo Atlanta and started telling her all about Ivan. It was very cool. She didn't know him or the book but got really excited. :)Jen Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253968450319192514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738534444392348639.post-18901055222951263752012-04-23T22:58:21.234-04:002012-04-23T22:58:21.234-04:00I am so glad that you got to read Ivan- it is such...I am so glad that you got to read Ivan- it is such an extraordinary book. <br /><br />Happy reading this week!Kelleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402368920655764307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738534444392348639.post-83711111944204248572012-04-23T20:24:33.914-04:002012-04-23T20:24:33.914-04:00I just finished reading Ivan to one of my classes,...I just finished reading Ivan to one of my classes, and am just starting it with another. It won the read aloud vote in both classes by a landslide! The group that has finished it was very satisfied with the ending, and they loved reading the author's note.

Not only do I love the story, but I love that the book is written at a level that will connect with independent readers who are looking for something more thoughtful, something that is heart-warming and real. I love that the story was based on a true event.Teacher.Mother.Readerhttp://teachermotherreader.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738534444392348639.post-9027982846468013662012-04-23T13:28:51.152-04:002012-04-23T13:28:51.152-04:00Ivan is such a great book, and perfect for sharing...Ivan is such a great book, and perfect for sharing with students or in my case, my own kids. We were so lucky to be able to go see Katherine Applegate with my daughter's 4th grade class last week when she was at the local bookstore. She's as lovely as you'd expect and did a great humor-filled presentation about Ivan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
