Personal response : I love this book! It was lovely. Matty was not good at talking, but he loved animals. And his dream came true at the end of this story. I love animals too, so I could enjoy his story very much. These days, there are too many town things like modern buildings, shops, and such. I like them, but we need nature more than them. We don't know anything about nature, because we are separated from it. I think we should be in nature like Matty. It will help our life, because we are too busy!! I want to do this...
