Inca, the snoopy Siberian cat, is the head of the detective agency, Inca & company. She lives with her animal friends along with their human mom, Missy, and the world-famous detective, Solo. Missy has been selected to be a judge in a French patisserie competition, where she plans to introduce her new cheese.

They travel to South Korea, where they stay in a little villa on the outskirts of Seoul and make friends with Ye-Jun and Baram. Enzo, Missy's competitor chef, tries to steal their precious cheese. Inca and her friends have to protect their mom's cheese. Meanwhile, they find a new case to solve, which will soon turn into a memorable little adventure.

First, the illustrator, Jorge Valle, deserves kudos. The bright and colourful illustrations and the cute little cats were so captivating that they'll fascinate the young readers for sure. I found myself staring at the images rather than focusing on the story itself.

Cat Detectives In The Korean Peninsula written by R. F. Kristi is action-packed right from the beginning. This children's book is divided into eight short chapters titled by the day of the month, ranging from April 10 to April 17. While the plot and language are simple and lucid for the easy understanding of the children, Kristi has also managed to integrate all the essential details, resulting in a flawless story.

I loved the way Kristi introduced educational content into the story so naturally. Most of the facts about Korea and the Siberian tigers were new even to me. Therefore, this book will be informative to the young ones as much as it's entertaining.

Although most of the story is written in simple English as is appropriate for a children's book, Kristi has also introduced a few complicated words like 'preened'. This would help improve the vocabulary of the young readers. But they might need some adult guidance to decipher the meaning of those words.

I loved the cute animal detective characters. I'm confident the children will love them too. There is nothing to dislike about the book. Apart from a few typographical errors, the book seems professionally edited. All things considered, I rate Cat Detectives In The Korean Peninsula four out of four. I recommend this highly informative book to children ageing between seven and twelve. Even parents and guardians might love this refreshing read.
