Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R. F. Kristi is a delightful children’s book that is part of a series but can be read on its own. It is a story about a group of animal detectives who go around the world with their human parent, Missy, solving crimes and puzzles. The group comprises four cats: Inca, who is the leader; Car; Fromaye; and Monk. There’s also a dog named Terrence and a hamster named Charlotte.

Missy had just been invited to Korea for a cheese competition where she would judge the cheese creations of other competitors. She also is to display her own cheese creation, and the pack is excited to go with her. They learn, however, that a devious chef has plans to sabotage the competition and steal Missy's cheese. If this happens, it’ll be the end of her career as a chef. This competition is to be attended by North and South Koreans as a way of fostering peace. Will the detectives stop the evil plot and save the competition?

There were many positive aspects of this book that I enjoyed. I’m sure children would enjoy the storyline and the lessons it teaches. Lessons like love, teamwork, and courage are to be learned from the story of Inca and his furry partners. The author made use of images that were colorful and catchy. The images also explained the story better. Even though the book is part of a series, it can be read and fully understood on its own.

The characters are well developed. Even minor characters proved to be quite as important as the main ones. I learned quite a lot about Korean culture and their cuisine from reading this book. I also want to commend the writing style of the author. He wrote in simple language, knowing full well that his readers were children. I’m positive that children won’t find it hard to understand the contents of the book. There was also suspense in some parts of the book, making it more interesting to read.

There was nothing to dislike about this book. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. My rating is high because of the above-mentioned reasons. There were no errors that I noticed. The book was exceptionally well edited. I recommend it to children of younger ages. I also recommend that an older person read it with the child to explain some parts of it to them.

The storyline of this book seems intriguing. Although its a children book, I think adults can be able to relate to the content of the book. Great review.

The author's ability to use animals as the protagonists is a creative and unique approach, and it adds an extra layer of charm and fun to the story. I appreciate the author's attention to detail when describing the different settings and landscapes in the story, as it makes the story come alive in the reader's imagination.
A reader lives a thousand lives before they die. What is more marvelous, more wholesome, more exquisite, than exploring all the worlds and universes that humanity can ever conceive?

Interesting, with the way you explained the book in this review, I believe older people will enjoy it and pick one or two lessons from it. I'll love to read it because it is fascinating and enjoy Korean movies.

This book was amazing. I really enjoyed reading every bit of it. Fromage was quite the arrogant and boastful character, while Inca was alwasy calm and level-headed.
