Review of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula
[Following is a volunteer review of "Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula" by R.F. Kristi.]
R.F. Kristi's Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula the eighth installment of the Inca and Company series, introduces readers to the adventures of a snoopy cat, Inca. Inca's genuinely selfless nature leads him to tackle problems and challenges, supporting Mom along with the other pets, Fromage, Cara, Charlotte, and Terrance.
In this book, Missy visits Korea as one of the judges invited by Le Cordon Bleu. She also wants to present her new cheese recipe at the competition. She was accompanied by Solo and her pets. Prior to the competition, they became wary of Enzo, suspecting his intentions towards their owner. However, there's a deeper issue involving their tour guide, Ye-Jun, who has been separated from his sister Ji and her cat, Bo-Mi, for an extended period. Inca, with the help of others, including Baram, a dog similar to Terrance, takes on the task of reconciling Ye-Jun and Ji without disrupting the delicate peace talks between North and South Korea. Can Inca and Company successfully handle this intricate situation?
Firstly, I must commend the author for the brilliant concept of the book series and the thoughtful inclusion of the family tree of the pets at the beginning. The narration from Inca's point of view as a diary entry adds to its relatability. Additionally, the well-executed, vibrant illustrations appeal to both children and adults.
One of the strong points of the Inca and Company series is its ability to familiarize children with various cultures worldwide. In this particular book, readers gain insights into the political landscapes of North and South Korea and their unique cultures. The story also explores the beauty of South Korean cities and the historical context of the countries' separation and the establishment of the DMZ (Korean Demilitarized Zone).
Furthermore, the book imparts valuable life lessons to its young readers. Notably, the power of positive thinking and problem-solving approaches are emphasized. Inca's ability to combat negative thoughts during their journey to the Northern part of the fence highlights the importance of mindset in overcoming challenges.
Personally, I find no reason to dislike anything about this book. It captivates and provides an enjoyable read for both children and adults. Hence, I rate it five out of five stars. The exceptional editing ensures an error-free reading experience. I highly recommend this book to children aged 6 to 14, as it not only educates them about South and North Korea but also introduces them to new vocabulary. Adults will also find delight in reading this book.
