This book is a wonderful addition to any child’s library, and I highly recommend it for its charming story and positive messages. Review: Great Third Book - The One and Only Ruby is the third book in the four book series written by Katherine Applegate. The book tells the story of Ruby, the elephant we meet in the first book, “The One and Only Ivan.” Ruby was a very small elephant when we was brought to the “The Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade”. She lived there with a larger elephant named Stella, Ivan the Gorilla and their friend Bob the dog.” Ruby now lives in the zoo next to Ivan. She is not happy that she has tusks, even if they are small. She dreads having to give a speech about what Tuskday means to her. She sees no use for tusks. Maybe this is because she has seen what happens to elephants when poachers want those tusks. As she tries to work her way through her feelings leading up to Tuskday she tells her story to Ivan, his mate Kinyani, and Bob. Through this story we learn about Ruby and her life in Africa and the herd she was a part of. We learn of her joys and her sadness. Along the way we see Ruby mature and grow and actually become a part of the herd she is with at the zoo. I was so excited when this book came out. Just as excited as when I read the first two books, “The One and Only Ivan”, and “The One and only Bob”. This book, like the others is an emotional read. It is one that I will never forget. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,510 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #14 in Children's Elephant Books (Books) #17 in Children's Ape & Monkey Books (Books) #141 in Children's Classics | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,858 Reviews | ## Images ![The One and Only Ruby - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81G-ByfVXBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by G***N on August 2, 2024* The One and Only Ruby is a delightful children’s book that captivated both me and my child from start to finish.
