Have you heard of cats being detectives? You can experience it in this book titled Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi. It is the eighth book in a series that saw a group of cats do the work of detectives and save lives.

Inca, a Siberian cat, is delighted to visit South Korea with his human mom, Missy. He rushes over to announce it to the rest of the team, and they are equally happy. Their mom will be judging a cooking competition between North Korea and South Korea, so she wanted to use that as an opportunity to launch her new cheese to the world. Getting there, things they did not plan for arose, and the cats took it upon themselves to become the heroes. Are they successful? Read this book to find out.

The book starts with a detailed family tree that shows the cats, their friends, and the human family and friends. It was nice to know the team, their features, and what they do. The author also adequately used descriptive words to describe events and places. With the way the author described each location, I think I will be able to recognize the DMZ if I see it. The author divided the book into days and times, unlike the conventional style of chapters. It also contained colourful pictures that would entice children and make reading fun.

I was happy with the cats and how they were thinking about the good of people. Their method of planning and execution earns them the title of detectives. The book was very educational. I learnt the meaning of some French phrases, like la crème de la crème. The family comprises cats and dogs, and I learned about some breeds of dogs and other animals. The book talks about the Korean peninsula and the various efforts of individuals to unite them. I have always loved reading about this, and it was exciting to read about the team visiting the Freedom Bridge, going through the infiltration tunnel, and the DMZ.

The only challenge with the book is that the vocabulary used was advanced. Children will need help understanding some words in the book.

Nevertheless, I rate this book four out of four stars for having an excellent storyline and a well-arranged structure. It was professionally edited, as I found only two errors while reading it. A reedit will fix it. I recommend this book to children ages four and above. It will be perfect for storytime.

I have heard so much about this book. What interest me most is the roles the animals play in the book as detectives. I wonder how they went about it. Great review.

I read about this book a few days ago from another reviewer and since then, I have gotten two books from the series. I plan to read them by the end of this week.

I have never heard of cat being detectives and the only thing I know about cats is that they love fish and I'll like to know more about cats and I like that the cats like the good of people and I'll like to know about other breeds of cats and dogs, Inca sounds like a really good cat.

This book greatly highlighted how intelligent our pets could be. They shouldn't be taken lightly. I like how the author portrayed them.

The fact that animals were used make it suitable for children. There will also be a lot to learn from these cats' intelligence
