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.

I've read this book and I can say I totally loved it. Inca is quite an intelligent rule and her way of coordinating her team is admirable. I also love Fromage. Thanks for the amazing review.

I really enjoyed this book and I think the author kept the historical information at that level, so as to not bore the children or confuse them. I also really liked the illustrations in this book. The writing style, plot, and characters make this book an enjoyable read.

This book is really educational and would help kids learn the affairs of Korea. Other than that, the book maintains its fun, energetic characters. Inca and her gang are at it again and we're positive they'll deliver. Nice review.

I agree with your point about the lack of historical information, it would've been a nice detail. Thank you for your honest review.

Fur kids indeed! And they are also detectives? The idea of detective animals is an interesting concept that I'd like to read about. I wonder what I'll learn from this book just like you did. Great review.

I love reading the Inca book series and this one happens to be my favorite. I love the themes used in this book. Younger readers have the opportunity to pick up great attributes. Nice review.

If this book is one of the best books you've ever read as an adult, I wonder how it will be for kids.
Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi will sure be worth the read.

I just finished reading this book and it's a yes, yes yes for me. The book contained colorful pictures that will make any reader enjoy it. I smiled while I read the book. The cats were very kind and we're emphatic. It teaches lots of morals.

Amazing review.

I absolutely loved reading this book. It was worth the time I spent on it, and that was very short while. This is because this book is short, and easy to read. Good children's book.

I like that this book is very colorful and filled with morals. Children need to be taught morals at a young age and this book is perfect for that. I enjoyed reading your review.
