[Following is a volunteer review of "Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula" by R.F. Kristi.]
Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristin is a children's book that follows the adventures of Inca and her group of detective friends.
Missy has been invited to be a judge in a baking competition to be held in South Korea. She would also advertise her cheese, which she has been carefully perfecting over the years. This causes the family, along with Inca and her friends, to take a trip to South Korea. There, they learn of siblings who have been torn apart from each other. Inca and his friends undertake a dangerous mission into the Demilitarized Zone to unite Ji and Ye-Jun. How well would their plan work out? Grab a copy and find out!
There are so many positive aspects to this book. The book is great for children. It is written in a simple language and has a minimal plot with minimal characters. The tone is also very conversational and can easily be shared with friends for enjoyment. The illustration of Inca's family tree at the beginning of the story is highly appreciated because it would help readers get familiar with the characters in the book and have an image to attribute each character to. The book also had numerous moral lessons that children would find impactful. Enzo's failed attempt to steal Missy's special cheese goes to show that cheating your way through life never pays. Furthermore, we could always need a little help from others. It took collective efforts from Inca and Company to retrieve Missy's cheese. Lessons like kindness and hospitality are greatly emphasized as well.
This book is culture-rich and exposes the readers to more foreign cultures than they are used to. At the start of the book, we learn that the group had taken a trip to Sri Lanka. During their trip to South Korea, their tour guide, Ye-Jun, showed them delightful sights and explained some of Korea's culture to them. They got to see the Freedom Bridge and hear the story behind it as well. The book was also exceptionally well edited, as I could not notice any errors in it.
The book is well-written, engaging, and enlightening. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because there is nothing I dislike about it. I recommend this book to children who enjoy reading fun detective stories or adventures.
