Review of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula
Posted: 29 Mar 2022, 15:53
[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 was about Inca and other members of the detective agency's adventures and ordeals in South and North Korea. This children's book is the eighth sequel in a series.
After a big meal and lots of merriment at Solo’s home, the excitement increased when the cats heard that they would be going to South Korea. Missy, their mum, has been selected as a judge for a competition. She will also be introducing her new cheese. The team were all excited and could not wait to tour South Korea. However, some issues spring up, and they have to focus on sorting and solving these issues. Are they up to the task? Will they be able to deal with the problems that arise? Read this book to find out.
One thing I noticed and loved about this series is that they are stand-alone. I completed the seventh instalment of The Inca Book Series. Out of excitement, I started reading this sequel, which is the eighth, and I must say, I was not disappointed. The cat detectives are known for their adventures and travel to different locations, and this time they visited the Korean Peninsula. The book included more action, work, and fun for the cat detectives.
I must commend Jorge Valle, who illustrated this book, for a job well done. He richly endowed the book with colourful illustrations that helped invite readers to the book. The author made the story so lively and intriguing that children would not help but love it. Conversations between Inca and her siblings were humorous and sometimes witty. I love and admire Inca’s extroverted spirit. She and her teammates would always make friends wherever they went. Their choices were always excellent as these people would assist them later on. Their bond, togetherness, and cooperation are great lessons for children. No man can be an island of his own, and it was nice for the author to incorporate these in this book.
There was only one thing that did not go down well with me. The book still included sophisticated words that would make younger children not easily comprehend them. However, this is not enough to deduct a star from this book’s rating. It even widened the book’s audience. The author was also thoughtful enough not to heavily discuss the crisis between North and South Korea, being that it is a children’s book. She only mentioned the issue. Then, she gave a lesson to children on how to learn to promote peace and unity. Therefore, I rate this book four out of four stars for these positive reasons.
The book was also exceptionally well-edited, as I found no errors while reading. I recommend this book to children aged five and above. It was a thrilling read, and one that lovers of short stories and light reading would enjoy.
