It's funny how the conversation between these animals sounds almost surreal, like humans. Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is about Inca, a Siberian kitty, and also the leader of the detective organization, Inca, and company. Her detective crew includes Fromage, Cara, Solo, a human, and many more of his friends and family.

Inca and her crew are getting ready to go along with their human mom to a French pâtisserie competition to be held in South Korea. She is invited to be one of the top judges in a South and North Korean cooking competition. Everyone is thrilled to go with her, especially Fromage, as 'his new cheese' will be presented to the world to be tasted. At the airport, Enzo, a French chef and an enemy of mom, plans to steal her cheese. This begins the start of their detective journey in South Korea.

It's astonishing to see the world from the view of animals. This story tries to show how animals truly communicate. The novel might have been a fictional work, but it sounds almost real. I love the way the author wrote it. It's simple. The author, R. F. Kristi, did a fantastic job of trying by bringing the perspective of both humans and animals to craft a beautiful story.

The character I like the most is Fromage. I love his bubbly and carefree nature. I had a good laugh while reading his lines. The description of each character at the beginning was explicit, as it helps the readers to understand them. There are also some lessons to be learned about Korean culture. I didn't know there was a place called the Peninsula in Korea until I came across these children's books. The pictorial description is also great. Young children will be able to relate to each scene.

I have no negative comments against this story. It's a quick read and fascinating. There was no usage of vulgar words too. I couldn't find any errors while reading. Based on my reading experience, I'll rate this 4 out of 4 stars for the above likes.

I'll recommend this to children and people who would want to pass time reading a book. It's worth the read and time.

The fact that this book was hilarious was one to appreciate. And imagine viewing the world from the world of animals especially pets and things they can do. It's so much more and readers would certainly want to find out more about this.

The conversations of these pets sounds like I was seeing Alvin and the Chipmunks in my head. I had fun and the book relax my nerves while I was reading it. I agree with you on the explicitness of the characters details at the beginning of the book.

I enjoy reading animal stories and I especially loved this book. Inca and her group of detectives were very fun to read about. The descriptions were quite simple and the illustrations were very colourful. This is a book every parent should get their kids because it teaches good values.
