[Following is a volunteer review of "Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula" by R.F. Kristi.]
Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is a children's book featuring Inca, a cat detective, and her friends. The book is part of a series about this elite team of detectives who solve mysteries. It can be read as a standalone book.
When Inca's owner, or 'humanoid' as she calls her, is asked to go to Seoul to judge a cooking contest, Inca and her team are beyond excited. This was the perfect opportunity for her Mom to showcase 'La Creme de la Creme', a specialty cheese she cooked up herself. Once they get there, the gang gets mixed up in the lives of their tour guide Ye-Jun, and his friendly dog Baram. Together they help Ye-Jun and Baram rescue their loved ones in this fun adventure.
This is a fun, informative read for kids. The author has managed to include ways to educate the readers about The DMZ or The Demilitarized Zone, the ensuing political tension between North and South Korea, and peculiarities of different breeds of animals. This is impressive in a children's book. The illustrations are very well done, and colorful. The language is simple and engaging, hence very appropriate for young readers. The story also talks about adoption, diversity, and even war in very subtle ways.
I didn't have any issues with the book. There is no vulgar language or sensitive content. However, there are a few instances where the text used and the paragraph alignment makes it slightly difficult to infer who the dialogue comes from. There were no spelling or grammatical errors.
I give this book 4 out of 4 stars . It would be perfectly suited for children from the ages of 5 to 10. This book is very educational. Hence, I would highly recommend it to all parents.
