Review of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula
Inca, a cat detective, is the head of a cat detective company called Inca & Company. They are very popular and known across England and other cities. Missy, the humanoid they own, has a big day ahead of her. She is to introduce her cheese to the world, as well as be a judge in a pâtisserie competition that would be held in South Korea. Missy, Solo, and the pets head over to South Korea, where they meet Ye-Jun and his lovely dog, Baram. Ye-Jun and Baram have been separated from his sister and her cat. The cat detectives make it their mission to reunite Ye-Jun, Baram, Ji, and her cat, Bo-mi. Would they succeed in their mission? And what wonders would they discover on their journey? Grab a copy of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi to find out more!
There are so many nice things about this book. The story was introduced with a colorful family tree showing the members of Inca & Company. Subsequently, Inca introduces herself, her family, and her friends. This creates a solid base for a proper character development. It makes it easy for children to become acquainted with all the characters. I enjoyed reading the book in the font in which it was written. It added a fun and childish appeal to the book. The diction adopted in writing the book is simple, interactive, and engaging. This makes the book fun to read, not just by yourself, but with friends as well.
Inca is a smart, confident, and inquisitive cat with a can-do attitude. She tries to remain positive even in situations that could turn deadly, just like when she went to see Bo-mi for the first time. Children could also learn the names of new places and cultures, especially the French and South Korean cultures. They could also learn about the DMZ, Freedom Bridge, and Dora Observatory just like I did. This book drives home the lesson of looking out for people we care about. Fromage and Terrance stopped Enzo from his wicked plans as a way of looking out for Missy.
The book was professionally edited and had few errors in it. However, there were few words that I considered too advanced to be used in a storybook meant for children. Those words could have been substituted for simpler ones, or a glossary should have been added at the end. Some foreign phrases were used, and the translation was not provided.
Aside from these drawbacks, I enjoyed reading the book, and I rate it 4 out of 5 stars because of this. I recommend this book to children who are animal lovers or enjoy reading detective stories.
