Name of book: Animal Diaries
Author: Aliya Shetty Oza
Type: Paperback
Age group: 5-8 years
Ally’s book is amazing especially as she is herself so young (she is in Grade 3) but has written like a seasoned author. This book is her third book and she has written it as a series of diary entries by different animals.
In this book, I really liked the part in the first story when Droopy (the dog) gets a cake for his birthday when he was thinking that everyone forgot about his birthday. I also liked the part when in the last chapter, Cat Diaries, Lisa (the cat) was resting under the car but a lady picked her up and Lisa got a home to live.
I felt sad when in one of the chapter Tiger Diaries, Max (the tiger) pulled a prank on his trainer and got him fired by the owner.
I really loved this book as it was written very well, had nice illustrations, and the format was unique. I look forward to reading other books like this.
Good job Ally!
