Mona's uncle Matthew works in a circus, and he always gives pretty great birthday presents. But when Mona turns eight, he gives her something better than juggling balls or stilts—a baby lion cub! His note says that the cub's mother couldn't care for it properly, and he knows Mona and her grandparents can help. Mona names the lion Kiki, and at first Kiki is like any other kitten. As she grows bigger and bigger, though, Mona realizes that Kiki needs a home which will allow her to be the wild animal she was born to be. Fans of the Rainbow Street Shelter books will love reading about how the shelter started and how its owner, Mona, has always loved animals—starting with an adorable baby lion.

Iván es un gorila pero, como él mismo aclara al presentarse, la cosa no es tan sencilla. Vive en un centro comercial y está acostumbrado a las funciones diarias en «sus dominios» (así llama a su reducido espacio hecho de cemento y cristal). Tiene buenos amigos, como la elefanta Stella y el perro Bob, y además es un artista: sus dibujos se venden bien entre el público. Todo cambia cuando el centro incorpora al espectáculo a Ruby, un bebé elefante. Iván se da cuenta de que esa no es la vida que deberían llevar ni él ni sus compañeros. Y es que es un gorila con las ideas muy claras: «Los humanos derrochan palabras. Las lanzan como cáscaras de plátano y las dejan ahí para que se pudran. Cualquiera sabe que la mejor parte del plátano es la piel». Una historia tierna e inolvidable sobre el valor de la amistad y el respeto a los animales.
