[Following is a volunteer review of "Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula" by R.F. Kristi.]

The cover of this book has a picture of a cat in a gown with very rainbow-colored sleeves. Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi has 119 pages.
 
This book starts with an illustrated family tree. Inca is a supercat detective who runs Inca and Company, a detective agency that has been involved in solving detective mysteries and is a well-known group of detectives. Their mom was selected as a chef in a competition held in South Korea. Another chef named Enzo, who is jealous of their mom, tried to steal her special new cheese. Would the cat detectives notice this and recover the stolen cheese and save the day? Read this book to find out.
 
This book caught my attention from the very first page. I love how colorful it is; the book is wonderfully and brilliantly illustrated, and it is catchy and really easy to read and understand. The description of the cats, especially Polo, was very funny to me. A dog that is small in stature but is positive that he's large sounds hilarious, but I can see he's promoting a positive self-image for himself. I also enjoyed the fact that I got to know much more about South Korea, and Namsan Park, mentioned in this book, sounds really interesting, and I'd like to visit there one day.
 
I love how the author brings the cat's character to life through the way they converse; it really took me to the world of animals. The things cats do, like rubbing their hands on people's chins or jumping on their laps, appear to be very meaningful and purposeful in the world of cats. The fact that the competition involved both North and South Korea was a way to bring the two countries together and was really a peace-building effort and initiative.
 
The only thing I think it lacks is a glossary or just a part of the book explaining the meaning of words. For instance, I found the word "moi" on page 6 and "bon voyage" on page 19. Since it's a children's book and not all children would understand the French words introduced in the book, it would be nice if the author put the meaning of the words beside them.
 
For the positives listed in the preceding paragraphs, I rate this book five out of five stars; the book is exceptionally well-edited, and I found no errors while reading it. I recommend this book to children because I believe they will learn positive values from it like selflessness and bravery, and I also recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about South Korea.

This is a fantastic read. The Inca is my favorite character in this book because she showed bravery and courage. I love your review.

Still curious to know how the detective agency was formed. The news about Inca and Company has spread and we expect more actions from them. This book encompasses a lot of fascinating themes that would thrill kids.

I still can't believe Cats can do everything stated in the book. I love the storyline and how well-arranged it was. I think the rating is well deserved. Thanks for the honest review.

Cat detectives? Wow! That’s a new one. I really can’t believe cats and their friends can do this. I’ll love to pick this up to read. And it’s also a fast read.
