Serendipity Mystery: Diary of a Snoopy Cat by R.F. Kristi is an illustrated children's book that follows the story of a cat named Inca and her animal friends who solve mysteries. This is the seventh installment in the Inca Book Series. Inca is a Siberian detective cat and head of Inca & Company, which is the detective agency that she runs with her other animal friends. This includes her Tabby brother Fromage, her Siamese sister Cara, a hamster named Charlotte, and a professional detective dog named Terrance.

Inca and her furry family are on vacation in Sri Lanka with their owner (referred to as Mom throughout the book). When an old antique sword is stolen from the museum in Colombo, Inca finds this to be a mystery that is right up her alley. Solo, a human friend of the family and an international detective, soon comes to the island to help the authorities search for the sword. He brings along his dog Terrance, who aids Inca & Company as they set forth to solve the mystery of the disappearance (or possible theft) of the antique sword. Along the way, they receive help from new animal friends that they meet on vacation, like a turtle named Rani and a baby elephant named Meena. …show more content…

One thing I really found interesting was the relationship between the animals and humans. Inca refers to her owner as "Mom" throughout the entire story, indicating that she feels a close relationship with her owner to be able to call her that. And I appreciate how this was not a story where both humans and animals could understand each other. While the animals could understand humans, humans are not able to understand what the animals are saying. For example, when Terrance barks, the humans hear "Woof! Woof!" while Inca and the other animals hear sentences. Another thing to love about this book is the illustration work that I looked for on every other

The document sheds a bit of light upon Inca society. In contrast to the previous document, the Inca seems to be perceived in a positive light due to their noble actions whereas the Aztec is viewed negatively due to the human sacrifice. For example, the document states that Inca troops were not allowed to pillage and commit violence upon territory that they acquired through peaceful mean. One possible limitation is that the author did not witness the acts described in the document. Rather, the author “collected a great deal of information.”

Stephen Budiansky is a renowned author of multiple books about animals, nature, science and animal behavior and in this book, did not fail to follow this theme. Budiansky wrote this book in hopes of giving someone an inside view into the mind of cats to explain their behaviors that people love and the behaviors that people hate. This book talks about the beginnings of the relationship between cats and humans and how or why these mysterious animals have kept many of the behaviors of their wild ancestors. Even though this book may not be a great read for scientists who are looking for actual proof to cat’s behaviors, it sure is a great read for the general population.
