Review of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula
Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is the eighth book in the Inca Cat Detective series. It is a thrilling children's book filled with colorful illustrations for easy comprehension by its target audience.
The book follows the journey of the members of Inca & Company to South Korea, accompanied by their respective owners. Missy, the humanoid owner of Inca, Cara, Fromage and Charlotte, has been selected to be one of the judges of the French patisserie competition organized by Le Cordon Bleu to be held in South Korea. Le Cordon Bleu, a top cookery school in the world, and organizers of the competition are also holding a special event to introduce a new special cheese created by Missy to the world. Accompanied by her animals and Solo, she sets off to South Korea for the event. However, there are individuals who do not want to see Missy succeed. What would they do to Missy and her cheese?
On arrival to South Korea, the group meets with their tour guide and translator, Ye-Jun, who humbly invites them to stay in his home instead of a hotel. During their stay with Ye-Jun and his dog Baram, they discover an air of sadness around the home. Join Inca and her team as they try to bring happiness into the home of their tour guide once again.
This is such a sweet and heartwarming book. The author has done an incredible job on the book. Her descriptions throughout the book highlight her profound knowledge of cats. Even though this book is a part of a series of books, it can be read and understood if read on its own thanks to the in-depth descriptions of the author. I enjoyed the way the cats referred to humans as “humanoids”. The author also gives the meaning of foreign words she used in the book to help the vocabulary of children. She also summarizes the political status of South and North Korea in an easy-to-understand way for the children. The book is filled with colorful illustrations, placed at specific points where the text may be hard to understand or when describing a character for better visualization for the children.
There was nothing I disliked about this book. It is a short, simple, and easy to understand book with a smooth plot and a bit of suspense. It was exceptionally edited, as I did not find typographical or grammatical errors. I would award this book 4 out of 4 stars.
I recommend this book to children between the ages of 4 to 12. Not only that, but I would also recommend it to animal lovers and parents looking for a suitable bedtime story for their kids.
