¡Roundtable Reading Bilingüe! / The One and Only Ivan / El único e incomparable Iván by Katherine Applegate

At Roundtable Reading Bilingüe, young readers read aloud to one another from the opening pages of a good book in English and Spanish. Children who participate will receive a copy of the book to continue reading at home. No advance sign-up needed; just show up promptly at 2:30 PM ready to read!

Reading led by Angela Loza, librarian, West Contra Costa Unified School District.

Life at the Big Top Mall and Video Arcade has grown comfortable for Ivan. He rarely misses his life in the jungle. Instead, he watches his favorite TV shows, spends time with his friends Stella and Bob, and thinks about how to capture the taste of a mango with color. But when he meets Ruby, a young elephant taken from her family, she makes Ivan see their home, and his art, through new eyes.
