I highly recommend reading the children's novella Diary of a Snoopy Cat by R.F. Kristi. From the moment I was introduced to the main character, a feline cleverly named Inca, I was immediately drawn into the storyline with wonderful descriptive language and likable characters. I enjoyed the way the author used the diary style of prose with an entry, followed smartly by details that expanded the situation and supported the scene drawing the reader further into Inca's adventures in solving mysteries. This book contains more than one of Inca's adventures and followed a time-frame structure, that was a welcomed change to a standard format. I give this book, 4 out of 4 stars.

The story follows the adventures of a UK housecat named Inca. Readers are introduced to her house mates and others thoroughly with wonderfully written summaries about the main components of Inca's world. Inca decided to put pen to paper in a diary to document her adventures. Readers will be entertained to see how she views her world and thinks about the clues she encounters along the way. Inca joins forces with felines and canines alike in this tale of tails. Inca's diary entries along with her real thoughts on …show more content…
There were supportive details describing the characters and I was drawn in to their saga as soon as I was introduced. I really enjoyed the writing style of the author using diary plus a very descriptive entry of the happenings. The storyline was easy to follow, there were "fun" words sprinkled in the text to expand young readers vocabularies as well. The only complaint I could muster is a very personal one - the usage of multiple exclamation points and questions marks. One after a word will suffice, in my opinion, but multiple give the writing a somewhat unprofessional look about things. As a parent, I do strive to have my children read books that have proper use of grammer and punctuation. The font is a type style that is

    Analysis Of Three Bags Full By Leonie Swann

    Although the story didn't involve as much action as an usual murder mystery, the characters were quite adorable, not only because of the fact that they were sheep, but because of their quirky, humorous personalities. The plot did go a little bit slow, and there were interludes between clues, but when the plot developed, it built up suspense and excitement. The main characters were fully developed, and each have their own strengths and weaknesses. There were some parts that gave me a laugh, and I quite enjoyed the simplicity of the novel. I didn't feel like the ending was rushed, unlike other novels where the author seems to just get to the resolution as soon as possible.…

    The Grimke Sisters

    I like how at the beginning it starts out giving a little background of who the Grimke sisters are and a bit of history about them as well. I liked how it was wrote in a diary format, but everything was still explained through the book. I really loved and could tell that everything that was explained throughout the book was explained in order. Throughout the book, it talked about many things we have discussed and talked about in class such as the cotton gin. In the book, it mentions that during Sarah’s childhood, the cotton gin had effected a transformation in Southern Agriculture.…

    The Forgotten Byzantine Empire Chapter Summary

    I thought it was extremely informative and the author did a great job at keeping me intrigued. There were parts where the story was boring but he did a good job at putting in something that interesting happened to allow the book to pick back up. Some of the points I thought were interesting was how the families acted towards each other. One spot in the book it talked about after Constantine died, he did not say who would rule next. His three sons then thought they should all be rulers.…

    Why Is Fahrenheit 451 Important

    First, I really liked how the plot progressed. I think that it went at a very good pace and was very smooth throughout the entire story. Also, the novel was very easy to read and not very complicated to figure out because, it was pretty close to the way we speak today. I really enjoyed how it made it seem that so many things could happen, like if burning the books was a good thing or if it was bad in general. Or if they should just burn the books not the house.…

    From the beginning of the novel, I was already hooked. Her writing was very compelling and it is what drew me to read chapter after chapter. Another thing that I appreciated throughout the novel was how she wrote her chapters. I liked how she condensed the chapters and filled them with only pertinent information. The thing that annoyed me about the novel was how she left a lot of unanswered questions at the ending of the novel.…

    My only issue with it was that it didn’t have a point on why it was written or a lesson to be learned. Even though it was clearly stated in the book that there was no point, I was still half expecting there to be one. Overall, the book was enjoyable and I would recommend it for a fun read over the summer.…

    Response To Black Boy

    I enjoyed every aspect of the book except for the wording in some parts. Even though it leaves very little questioning about the setting or the events with this style of wording, it seems like the book is trying to be too descriptive. But even with this the events unfolded in a rather natural flow to the storyline. In certain spots of the story, it even showed how some aspects of this flow made the storyline quite thrilling. I also found that at the end of every chapter, it gave some foreshadow as to how the events that took place in the chapter would relay back later in his life.…

    I liked how well the book developed along the way and how well the characters were developed like how Big Ma, Cassie’s Grandma, went over the past with Cassie when they were sitting by the lake by their house. “Big Ma surveyed the clearing without a word, then, stepping around the rotting trees, she made her way to the pond and sat down on one of them. I sat close beside her and waited for her to speak. After a while she shook her head and said: “I’m sho’ glad your grandpa never had to see none of this.…

Life is a constant battle for everyone, and I have the power to choose who wins that battle.
