Review by Michele H -- Cat Detectives in the Korean Peni...
Inca is a very inquisitive cat who has her own detective agency. Inca has a talented, furry team to help her solve mysteries. In this book Inca, her brother, sister, and pet hamster are excited to find out their mom must go to the Korean Peninsula to launch her newest creation in cheese. Inca loves to go on adventures. The trip is even more exciting when they find out that their furry detective friends get to join them on their trip.
Join this fun and diverse group on their adventure to a new continent. Along the way, you will laugh and cry with them as they do some sight-seeing and happen upon a mystery that needs to be solved. Hang on for the ride while joining Inca and company in this suspenseful cat caper that takes place during a peace-building mission in the Korean Peninsula.
Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is a thrilling and suspenseful cat caper magnificently written and enticingly descriptive. There was nothing I disliked about this book. It has all the elements of a wonderful children’s book, including culture, diversity, action, family values, world peace, and much more.
The author has a talent for creating imagery and captivating a young audience through words. I liked that the author included words that would challenge but not overwhelm young readers and listeners. The illustrations are bright, beautiful, and fun additions to the story. I especially liked that the author started with a family tree to help readers keep track of the characters. I also enjoyed the diversity of the characters. Imagine cats, dogs, and hamsters getting along! The author seamlessly ties together the book’s elements to the underlying theme of peace and contentment. Korean culture, language, and geography are expertly integrated into the story at a level children can easily comprehend. The only slight change that I would suggest to the author is that I found the font slightly distracting.
My rating for this cat caper is 4 out of 4 stars. The book has been professionally edited, as I only found one error that did not deter me from the story. Although this is book number eight in the series, it can easily be read as a stand-alone book. It is a great book for young readers but would also be a wonderful adventure to read to younger children who have not yet begun to read. For readers who find themselves fascinated with this series, there is also an interactive website to add to the fun. I would recommend this amazing adventure and the series to all young children.
