Amazing book, I must say! Irrespective of the fact that the writer's targeted audience are kids, it is indeed a piece that would attract the interest of older individuals. The diary of a snoopy cat is a book that gives so much details about the world of animals. It transports the reader's imagination directly to how animals and smaller creatures in our environment relate with themselves, the environment and even with humans. I specifically appreciate the writer's investigative potential of studying so much about the animal characters and his ability to present these observations in a way that any reader can relate with. The choice of words were so spectacular. I can recall vividly the part where Inca, Fromage, Monk and the others were to help Boss out with his owner, Ned. Their conversation points out with no doubt how a dog would communicate even if it can speak English. There was always a

Grrrr

at the end of any of the dog's statement.

Ability to transfer your ideas in form of a book to your targeted audience, is the originality of any book. This book has showcased its ability to make children feel alive, accompanied and positively kept busy. The pictures attached to relevant parts of certain chapters illustrates the character's expression and this would definitely help to improve the readers imaginative understanding of the book. The language used also properly fits the theme of the book. The reader in his choice of words, carry his reader along and make him understand his theme.

Many young kids tend to love adventures these days. They investigate in many fields of interest and go ahead to experiment their thoughts. The adventures of Inca in this book points out that fact; that it's not only in humans but in animals also. The book can help to encourage positive involvement of young minds and train them on how to go about it. Teach them not to just allow their brains to be hibernated but to wake them up and ensure they get involved in meaningful activities.

Cooperation is also encouraged in this book. The intense communication among the animal kingdom indeed proves that the saying

Two heads are better than one

, can not be overemphasized. Kids as well as grown-ups should understand the importance of cooperation and maximum communication of ideas. It would definitely boost development, save time, increase maximum participation and also build up the self esteem and tolerance of individuals.
It is indeed a good book!

I did not come across any typo, blunder or grammatical error. And I must commend the writer and editing committee for that. Kudos!
However, there is always room for improvement. The writer's expression is good but can be further developed. At certain points in the book, the words and expressions went beyond what a kid within the age range of this book can actually understand. The writer was precise and straight forward. Good quite alright, but in writing a book like this, we should not ignore the importance of being broad and technically open-minded for kids get attracted to things like that.
I would thus rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. This is prior to the originality of the book. The theme as well as the structure of the book are superb. By this time of the year also, Christmas is by the door. I can comfortably send it as a gift to my cousin and expect a lovely thank you letter.

I like how you point that the book is not only for children. I agree! It had the adults chuckling, too. The writing was excellent and so were the accompanying illustrations. Great review.
