This book is a good example of modern fantasy, since the animals of the story are able to organized, and tell stories. The story is imaginative, as the cats of the world come together to solve the mystery of the disappearing cats. The animals behave like humans, and encounter human problems, while exhibiting animal behavior. Embedded short stories allow for students to experience and understand differing points of view. This is a fun and suspenseful book, which is a sequel to 'Dog Diaries'.

Cat Diaries is a cute collection about cats from all around the world who have assembled at the MEOW Society. This book is great for all those cat lovers out there, and for those who don't know much about cats too! I would recommend this book to readers who are just getting started with chapter books! This book comes with great illustrations as well. ( )

I didn't have high expectations for this book when I picked it up at the Scholastic Book Fair at our university, but it surprised me. The story line is cute and features all kinds of cats -- from pirate cats to gypsy cats and even to library cats. There are, of course, just regular everyday cats too, and the very first story in the collection of one cat and his Christmas tree is probably my very favorite, because it is exactly like a cat! This book is sure to charm older elementary readers, especially those who love and own cats. ( )
