He rarely misses life in the jungle. In fact, he hardly thinks about it at all. But everything changes when a baby elephant called Ruby arrives and Ivan realises he must find a new life for them both. The One and Only Bob: Bob sets out on a dangerous journey in search of his long-lost sister with the help of his two best friends, Ivan and Ruby. As a hurricane approaches and time is running out, Bob finds courage he never knew he had and learns the true meaning of friendship and family. The One and Only Ruby: Ruby’s story picks up a few months after the events of The One and Only Bob. Now living in a wildlife sanctuary, Ruby’s caretaker from the elephant orphanage in Africa where she grew up is visiting. Seeing him again brings back a flood of memories both happy and sad of her life before the circus, and she recounts the time she spent in the African savannah to Ivan and Bob. The One and Only Family: Ivan has been happily living in a wildlife sanctuary, with his friend Ruby next door in the elephant enclosure, frequent visits from his canine friend Bob, and his mate Kinyani by his side. And in the happiest turn of all, Ivan and Kinyani have welcomed a set of twins to their family! Review: Perfect I love to read month book! - Wonderful book series, read aloud or on their own Review: Heartwarming, unforgettable series - The One and Only series by Katherine Applegate is a heartwarming, unforgettable collection of stories that beautifully combines emotion, adventure, and empathy. Beginning with The One and Only Ivan and continuing with The One and Only Bob and The One and Only Ruby, this series is a must-read for children and adults alike. At the heart of these stories are beloved animal characters who face real challenges with courage and kindness. Ivan, a silverback gorilla once trapped in a shopping mall, introduces readers to themes of friendship, captivity, and hope. Bob, a scrappy dog with a tough past, brings wit and loyalty in his own adventure. And Ruby, the young elephant, adds new layers of compassion and growth as she steps into her own story. Applegate’s writing is poetic and accessible, making it perfect for middle-grade readers while still resonating deeply with older audiences. She doesn’t shy away from difficult topics, but handles them with such grace that young readers come away feeling inspired and empowered. The short chapters and poignant illustrations add to the series’ readability, especially for reluctant readers. These books aren’t just stories—they’re invitations to think more deeply about animals, friendship, and the power of change. The One and Only series is a brilliant example of how children’s literature can be both entertaining and meaningful. Highly recommended for classrooms, family read-alouds, or any young reader looking for a powerful, uplifting series.
