Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula is one installment in the Inca Cat series by R. F. Kristi. It is a standalone book, though. Narrated from Inca’s point of view, this book was about the adventures Inca and her friends engaged in over the holidays. The animals attempt helping humanoids (as humans are referred to in this book) run their daily activities. They prove their worth as pets by helping their owners, Solo and Missy, solve problems that they, humanoids, might not even have foreseen.

This book focuses on how Inca and her animal companions help Solo and Missy. First, they make sure that Missy’s cheese show goes well, then they set off to help their tour guide, Ye-Jun, find and reunite with his sister, Ji, and her cat, Bo-Mi, who is also a dear friend of Ye-Jun’s. To know how they carried out these feats, you’ll have to read this book.

I liked the language used in this book because it was so simple that anyone, especially children, would understand it. I also liked the use of graphics; it helped me put a face to each character. I enjoyed how the animals related to each other, despite their contrasting features. I also found the book educative on some level. From this book, I learned about the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and the Korean peace treaty.

At first, I thought Inca was an arrogant character, then I met Fromage, Inca’s brother, and I just had to laugh my thought off. Neither was arrogant in a bad way, but Fromage could be hilariously boastful.

I noticed a few typographical errors in this book, although they did not affect my reading. I have reservations about certain parts of this book. For instance, I was confused when Inca introduced the Siberian tiger twice, at the beginning and the later part of a chapter.

Regardless of my observations, I will rate Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula 4 out of 4 stars because it was exceptionally written and seemed professionally edited. This book is for children, but I’ll also recommend it to adults who like to read cartoons or animated stories.

Even though this is a children's book, I would still love to read it. I'm intrigued by the storyline.
