Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is a fantastic children's adventure book that revolves around a cat named Inca and her team of cats and dogs: Monk, Fromage, Cara, Charlotte, Terrance, and Polo. Together, they embark on thrilling quests as detectives.

Their human mom, Missy, receives an invitation to be a judge in a cooking competition taking place in South Korea. However, the story takes an interesting turn when she misplaces her cheese, which she intended to showcase at a French patisserie competition in South Korea. Inca and her companions take it upon themselves to solve this mysterious crime. Will they discover the culprits? Will Missy emerge victorious in the competition?

I particularly enjoyed how the author skillfully weaved the cat detectives' story with Korean culture, offering readers an insightful glimpse into the country. The book also imparts knowledge about Korean history and geography in an engaging manner. Additionally, it touches upon the relationship between North Korea and South Korea and their endeavors to foster peace. The detectives' unwavering determination to puzzle out mysteries made the story immensely enjoyable. Their protective nature and genuine concern for their human mom were heartwarming. The author's adeptness in introducing and developing the characters in the initial pages of the book allowed readers to acquaint themselves with the cast effectively. Moreover, the book's concise length enables readers to immerse themselves in the story without interruption. I was also pleased to find the book flawlessly edited, free of any errors.

I couldn't find anything to dislike about this book. Therefore, I give it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars due to its exceptional storytelling. Books like these are beneficial for children as they convey precise messages and impart valuable lessons through the characters' actions. Undoubtedly, children tend to appreciate animations and books that highlight harmonious coexistence between animals and humans. I also recommend this captivating adventure to fellow enthusiasts of the genre.
