Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is a children's book by R.F. Kristi. The character in the story is dubbed "Mom" as she is the mother of an intellectual cat named Inca. Inca, the other four adorable creatures, and Mom live together. Solo is a Mom's buddy. This time, Mom, Solo, and all five animals are traveling to South Korea. Mom is required to represent her new cheese in South Korea. Additionally, she received a judge's invitation to a cooking competition. To strengthen their friendship, North Korea and South Korea will engage in a friendly culinary competition. When they arrive in South Korea, they first run into Ye-Jun, the tour guide, at the airport. They are invited to stay with Ye-Jun. His sister is currently in North Korea after being split up from him. Mom and Solo make the decision to assist Ye-Jun in returning to her sister. This might cause Mom and Solo a lot of problems. Will Inca be able to protect the mother and reunite Ye-Jun with her sister?

For a variety of reasons, I enjoyed the book. The first had a good plot. Even though it was only a children's novel, the plot was rather exciting. The second was that there were many lovely photos in the book, which greatly increased my enjoyment of it. The third factor was the author's extremely passionate and entertaining narration of the story. The love relationship moved the reader emotionally on the one hand, while the humorous ideology and thoughts of the characters had the reader chuckling on the other. It moved me to tears, even though it was merely a children's book. I admired how the author combined illustrations of animal sounds and thoughts. Even for adults, the novel provided some opportunities for learning. For instance, I had the chance to understand the meaning of the Korean word "Ji" and the term "DMZ." The book was also perfectly edited.

I'm happy to award the book four stars out of four. However, I was a little let down that the book's Kindle edition does not enable dark mode. The majority of these books are read around bedtime, and the authors should be aware of that. There should therefore be a dark mode.

All children who enjoy bedtime stories shall get these books, in my opinion. These kinds of children's books can aid parents in forging close relationships with their children. The novel encourages ideals like placing oneself in danger for a friend as well as qualities like fearlessness. Even though these are only children's books, I am eager to read the remaining volumes in the series.

There wasn't much time for character development as it was a series book. However, the reader was given a general idea. Therefore, it is not necessary to read the series' earlier books in order to read this book.
