Inca and her team had just returned from a daring expedition to preserve the country's history in Sri Lanka. They discovered that their mother (Missy) had received a call asking her to be one of the judges for a contest that was going to take place in South Korea. Additionally, she gets to unveil her brand-new cheese recipe. When they learned about this, Inca and the other animals were thrilled. They were eager to leave on yet another international journey. However, an event that threatened to prevent their mother from competing happened as they were traveling on the plane. Her rival, Enzo, doesn't appear to have any good intentions for her. When they landed, they were greeted by Ye-Jun, their appointed guide. Ye-Jun informed them that although it was difficult to get lodging, they shouldn't worry about it. Could Inca and her team protect Missy from whatever harm this adversary might do?

Reading the book was enjoyable, and I loved this book for some reasons. The cats and dogs cooperated and interacted with each other and also with their human companions during the expedition. I applaud the author for using her imagination to make Korea's current climate understandable to young readers. The author addresses the conflict in a polite manner and shows how the two sides must work together despite their differences. It was amazing how little detail or specificity the author provided regarding the conflict between the country's two regions.

I also learned much about the nation that Inca and her family visited. My interest was also sparked by the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, which has evolved into a fascinating natural haven for rare and endangered creatures. It was interesting to read about the vegetation and wildlife, as well as the many cherry trees that were in bloom. A brief but fascinating history of the Korean Peninsula was also provided. I truly enjoyed learning about South Korean customs and culture with Inca and her investigative squad. The illustrations are also incredibly lovely and go well with the story.

I give R. F. Kristi's Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula 5 out of 5 stars. It was exceptionally well edited, as I didn't find any errors in it. I gave it a perfect rating because it had many great qualities and no bad ones.

Due to the use of animals as protagonists and the small language structures, the book is most appropriate for children. Children that are five years old and older should read this book, in my opinion. Children over five would like the book, but children under five would find the topic too difficult.

I’m glad that all of the animals can work together, especially the ones we think of as natural enemies. I’m glad that Ms. Kristi doesn’t go into too much detail about the political climate in the area.

I am so excited to read this book! Inca sounds like a really cool detective, and I'm sure her team is full of equally amazing characters. I can't wait to learn more about the Korean peninsula and find out if Inca and her team are able to recover the cheese.

I thought cats and dogs were sworn enemies. Seeing the bond and corporations the author created with this book makes me think otherwise. The South Korean culture was displayed beautifully.

[Salome Ogani]

I appreciate how the book uses animals as the main characters. This approach is engaging for children and helps to humanize the story, making it more relatable. The interactions between the animals and their human companions are heartwarming and funny, adding a lighthearted element to the story.

I never knew that there was a demilitarised zone between North and South Korea and I feel that this book would be a nice mystery book for children. A lot can be learned from the book.

The story is not only a delightful adventure but also an opportunity for children to learn about different cultures and traditions. The author has done a fantastic job of incorporating various aspects of South Korean culture, such as customs and food, into the story. This makes the book an excellent tool for parents and teachers looking to introduce children to different cultures in a fun and engaging way.

The review does a good job of highlighting the positive aspects of the book while still mentioning some potential drawbacks, such as its target audience.

I was also impressed with the way the author addressed conflict in the story. The book does an excellent job of showing that even though people may have different beliefs and opinions, they can still work together and find common ground. This is a valuable lesson for children to learn, especially in today's divisive world.
