The One and Only Family: A Powerful Animal Story About Friendship, Art, and Freedom Behind Zoo Walls in Captivity

They are all assembled and life has carried on but oh my there are so many lessons and so much love. This is a wonderful story and a great addition to this series. For children of ALL ages, esp as I am well into the 6th decade and wouldn’t miss these. They can be read aloud easily, easy reading for young readers too, good life lessons for teens and kind memories for adults. Magic.

Love this book so much! The series is an amazing and full of feeling experience and I love how the story keeps on continuing. I recommend this book for bored kids I gave this to my daughter and she fell in love with the series. So kid friendly but also lots of real life awareness going on in this book!

This is the final book in the series. In this book we find Ivan and his mate Kinyani expecting a baby. They are excited. We are taken through Ivan's thoughts about what it takes to be a good parent. On one hand he things it will be easy. On the other hand he is afraid. Any parent who reads this book could identify with Ivan on the feelings of excitement and fear when dealing with their first child. For Ivan, who ends up the father of twins it is even more emotional. He had a twin who made it from Africa to America, only to die of pneumonia. As his two children hit their terrible twos he is faced with several fears. The biggest fear is that he won't be able to protect his children. Along comes Bob, his dog friend to teach him what a wonderful father he really is. This was such a wonderful book. It was just as emotional as the other three books in this series. I can't wait to put it on my school shelves and recommend it to students.

I bought it for my daughter. It arrived quickly and is a good book for children. She really liked it. She reads it every morning before bed. Good book material.

If you have read the first 3 books in this series then this one is enjoyable. Still can be read by itself but needs some previous knowledge.

Such a good book! My daughter was so happy to receive this book

Perfect!! Read the entire series aloud with my 10 year old and both enjoyed! We loved following Ivan through all the books!

My 9 year old daughter loved this whole series.
