The One and Only Ivan

So, I have finally found a book that I love, love, love and have incorporated it into my art class.  The book is The One and Only Ivan, website can be found here.  My kids loved this book, they really got into it, there are even questions and mini-activities that can be done throughout the reading.

In an attempt to incorporate reading into the art class, I read this book to them whenever we had extra time, you know that last 10 minutes of the class or day when the closer is done and you are searching through your bag of tricks to keep their attention.  Totally grab this book, start reading, pass it around, let them read.
