Wonderful sequel to The One and Only Ivan. I love the author’s brilliant use of language- makes this kid’s chapter book a delight to read.
“When he opens the fridge, the light spills out like maple syrup on a hot pancake.”
I enjoyed Applegate’s insight into the thoughts and feelings of an average dog. Truly hilarious at times! Fans of the original will love this follow up that focuses on Bob who was Ivan’s best friend.

Katherine writes the best books. I don’t give out 5 stars lightly. It’s wild that this is considered a kids book. Please go read The One and Only Ivan before you read this one!
