Pet animals can be a wonderful addition to a home. They could be kept for fun or other purposes. But what if your pet turns out to be more useful than you expected? Will you like that? The book, Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula, was written by R. F. Kristi. This book is particularly interesting because the pet cats were indeed detectives.

Inca had a sister, Cara, and a brother, Fromage. They, a cat, two dogs, and a hamster made up the detective team. They were at Solo's house one Sunday morning. As they were admiring the picture of a Siberian tiger, the Inca's human owner, Mum, made an announcement. She had been appointed as one of the judges of the French patisserie competition. Excited, Inca ran off to announce, to her friends, their upcoming new adventure. Mum wanted to use that opportunity to introduce her new cheese. But she had a rival, Enzo, who would like to ensure that her newly created cheese isn't displayed. Would he succeed? What adventure awaited Inca and his detective friends?

I found this book interesting although it was a children's book. There was a lot I learned that children could also learn from the book. One of them was the description of the Siberian cat, and another was some history of North and South Korea. I liked the illustrative pictures used in the book. This would appeal to readers. Children that can't read fluently can easily follow the story using those pictures.

There was nothing I disliked in this book. The book was well-organized. The pictures were placed in the right places. The animal characters were interesting to read about. This helped me get a glimpse of animals' opinions on some situations. There were moral lessons children could easily learn from the book. One of them is that it's bad to steal. This lesson can be learned from the part about Enzo.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I found no errors. It was exceptionally well-edited. Readers will enjoy reading this book. The cover page and title of the book are attractive enough to garner readers. The pictures in it will entice children to read it and not be bored by it. It's very good if children's books teach life lessons. This book did so in an easy-to-understand manner. I recommend this book to parents and young children.

Yeah this book is a very promising read for young for children. It was kind of compelling and I felt like getting a pet in my home. Not only that the narrative pattern was so amazing.

At this point, I know that I'm not mistaken when I say I'm in love with the Inca book series. I always look out for the Inca book series because there are several attributes or qualities often displayed by Inca and her furry friends which I can incorporate into my daily life. Thanks for the review.

The illustrative pictures and the author's writing format are the best features that any reader could spot easily when they read this book. A good review.

I’ve read two books on the Inca series and I’ll say the author is a great writer. The grammars used were simple one, and there are fascinating pictures also. Nice review!

I have a pet and I agree with you that pet animals are fun to keep and really interesting to have and it's nice that children can really learn from this book from Inca and her pet company.

I've read the Inca series myself, I love watching Inca and team solve their cases. I typically enjoyed when they reunited Ji with his sister. Beautiful review.

Kristi is a wonderful writer. As you mentioned, though she writes for children, there is a lot adults could learn from this work. I especially loved how she nimbly expressed the conquering of our doubts through Inca

Children's book like this that contains chapters can be a great way to introduce older children to more complex storylines and themes.

I appreciate the author's ability to address sensitive topics in a child-friendly way, and to promote the importance of collaboration and teamwork in solving problems. This is an important consideration for parents looking for books for their children.
