    About this audiobook

    Born in 1962 and captured as a baby, Ivan was brought to a Tacoma, Washington, mall to attract shoppers in 1964 where he lived for 27 years. Public pressure built until a better way of life for Ivan was found at Zoo Atlanta. From the Congo to America, and from a local business attraction to a national symbol of animal welfare, Ivan the Shopping Mall Gorilla traveled an astonishing distance in miles and in impact. This is the true story and includes photographs and facts.

      It was a really good book but it lost a star because it was really short I feel like it would make a better impression if it was longer but it’s a great book I love it
    • 4/5
      Good book. If you liked this you will like the one and only Ivan written by the same author
    • 5/5
      This book was so great I feel so sad that Ivan died, he died the same year I was born. Ivan, rest well.
