1)Summry 

 The book is set in the world 20,000years from people who cannot live in earth are moved to another planet.Animals had become imaginary creatures, because they had been settled by humans alone.The protagonist is a girl whose name is “Hummingbird”.

 One day, she was to be married, but she didn’t want to get married, so she got on a spaceship and ran away.She found “The Star Zoo”on the run.”The Star Zoo” was a spaceship made of plastic.The spaceship was controlled by computer and was inhabited by many plants and animals inside.Hummingbird was frightened when he saw the animal for the first time.

 However, she comes up with the idea of moving the animals to a planet inhabited by humans.She worked hard to help people understand about animals.

3)Relevance to modern life

 I think the common feature between modern life and the world of the book. It is a problem about population. In Japan, we face a declining birthrate and aging population. In the world of the book, the planet forces the people to marry and bear children to leave offspring. A declining birthrate and aging population leads to decreasing the number of people who work, but if Japan were to do like the world of the book, many people claim ignorance of freedom rights. In Japan today, we need to increase the number of people who get married and have children. For this purpose, I think we need to present the benefits of marriage.

4)The author of this book is Harry Gilbert

    While there is little detailed information available about Harry Gilbert, he writes readable fiction primarily for educational purposes and is known for providing stories that are accessible to English language learners. His works are widely used in language teaching, with clear story lines and concise sentences.IHe is the author of several other books including “The year of sharing”.

5) Conclusion

The era when animals became extinct due to the deterioration of the global environment and only humans lived outside the earth. People who live in the  future have never seen animals and go crazy just by seeing robots that look like animals. However, the children quickly got used to them and real animals. This shows that when you see and hear things that you have never seen or imagined before, children are flexible to accept, but adults are not.
