We still read together almost every night. Sometimes it’s books they choose – I’ve read so many books multiple times that it almost seems like I’m on auto pilot. Sometimes, however it’s my turn picking a book. That’s how The One and Only Ivan made it’s way on our shelves.

It’s one of those books you just want to keep reading even though you know it’s past bed time. They don’t have to ask “just a little bit more, please”. Through this one we laughed together, and I did cry a bit at the end. This one we’ll remember for a long time. It is really worth reading.
