Share This Review

Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R. F. Kristi is a children’s book, eighth in The Inca Cat Detective series. Inca and her company of friends accompany both Missy and Solo to Korea for a chefs’ competition. Check this book out to be in the know of their new mission in the Korean Peninsula.

The book has a lot to educate children. The value of loyalty, hospitality, hard work, and playing fair in competitions are explained well throughout the book. These values are very crucial for character development, especially for every growing young kid out there. It also brings out some of the essential aspects of having pets and tagging them along wherever we go.

I loved the fact that Kristi provided translations to all the Korean and French phrases appearing in the book. It gave me the opportunity of getting to learn a few words from these two dialects that I consider foreign. These phrases also spiced up the book’s storyline, making reading it an enjoyable experience.

I found the graphical images used in the book to be both attractive and captivating. They would come in handy, more so, for the young audience due to their love for cartoons. The images also make the book a smooth read. The reader now doesn’t have to struggle to create mental pictures in their mind as they read. Therefore, it is a less-tiring read and one that every young reader would enjoy reading.

It is also a concise book, having one hundred and nineteen pages only. It is, therefore, an ideal read, especially for the young who most often than not find lengthy books annoying. I must commend the author for this, Kristi seems to understand the intended audience for the book entirely.

The book has no erotic scenes or any instances of profanity. There are also no religious themes discussed, making it a safe and conducive read for children from all religious faiths. I came across only one error while reading it. However, it didn’t hinder my understanding of the plot in any way.

I didn’t have any dislikes about the book. As a result, I rate it 4 out of 4 stars. It is a very absorbing and thrilling read that will only prompt you to read it at a single sitting. I recommend it to young kids, especially those between the ages of five to ten. Every parent or guardian should consider getting a copy for their children.

I do not think my three-year-old sister's attention can be maintained by a book, which is over hundred pages long.
I, unfortunately, have to skip this.
I enjoyed your descriptive review though.

Children should read books that impact moral uprightness in them. I'm happy that authors create books around virtues for kids. The cat detective is one that is loaded with virtues and also laced with humor. I'll love to read.

I always enjoy the stories of this famous cat detectives. Inca is the head of the detective company. I also like the animal character Polo. Children between the age of 7-12 will enjoy it. Good review.

The book cover itself will surely capture my son's attention as he loves cats! I would love to have both of my kids read this! Definitely sounds like there's a lot of moral lessons, let alone the new languages that the kids can learn! Thanks for your review!
