Review of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula
Posted: 02 Oct 2022, 12:46
[Following is a volunteer review of "Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula" by R.F. Kristi.]
Before reading this book, I knew Korea was divided into two nations, the southern and the northern parts. When I saw DMZ(Demilitarized Zone) in the book, I googled it and discovered a great deal of historical information about these two nations.
Missy is an American elected to be a judge in a baking and pastry competition held in South Korea. Missy went with her fur kids, Inca, Cara, and Fromage, which are cats. Terrance is a dog, and Charlotte is a hamster. All these pets formed a detective group to ensure there were no criminal activities in which Inca was the head. When they got to South Korea, they met Ye-Jun, who welcomed them and showed them where they would stay. In South Korea, something happened that set the fur detectives to action to save a friend. What happened?
Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is one of the most lovely books I have ever read, even as an adult. The words were simply written so that the targeted readers would enjoy and understand the story. I love how the author made the story short as well, and this would not bore readers off so soon.
I love the illustrations included in this book. Trust me that is a wise decision, considering that children love colorful pictures and illustrations. These illustrations made the story more fun to read. Also, I love how the author was making attempts to inculcate the culture of learning history and culture to children starting from an early stage. This is quite brilliant, especially learning about the culture of other countries.
However, a dislike I have for this book is that despite the attempts of the author to inculcate the fun and habit of children learning about the culture of other countries, she didn't include more facts about this historical knowledge. I had to google some information before I got more information about them. However, this would not affect my rating for this book. I would give this book 4 out of 4 stars. The book was exceptionally edited too. I would recommend this book to children between the age of 3 to 6.
