Another issue I have with the book is its title, `Diary of a Snoopy Cat`. This is because according to the Nnemonic Dictionary, to be snoopy is to be “offensively curious or inquisitive; and WWW.Dictionary.Com corroborates this view by defining the word “snoopy” as being “characterized by meddlesome curiosity; prying”. Strictly speaking, are cats as we know them to be, any of that? Aren`t they rather discreet, clean, active, playful, smart, intelligent, cudly, affectionate, sleepy, stretchy and agile?
Having said that, I must add that if author R.F. Kristi intentionally set out to create personified characters,then the author succeeded. In that case, I would place him/her in the same category as George Orwell (1903-1950) whose book, `Animal Farm` (1945) has animals as its characters; Lewis Carroll (1932-1898), whose classic book `Alice in Wonderland` (1865) features animal characters; and the French fabulist Jean de la Fontaine (1621-1695) who published fables; and the Greek writer Aesop (c. 620 – 564 BCE) whose `Aesop`s Fables` made him very famous.

How do you place the book's cover on the review page and the sharing icons? I would love to do the same in future.
My favourite reviewer thus far.
