Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R. F. Kristi is a captivating children's book that entertains and educates young readers. The book narrates the story of Inca and her team of animal agents, who have just returned from a successful mission in Sri Lanka. They are thrilled to hear that their mom has been selected to judge a French pastry competition in South Korea. Despite facing several challenges during their travels, such as an unexpected incident on the plane that could have prevented Missy from participating in the competition, the team finally arrives in Korea. They are greeted by Ye-Jun, their guide and translator, who offers them a place to stay when they have trouble finding accommodation. Little do they know that this trip will present them with a new mission to solve as they encounter a series of unexpected incidents during their stay at Ye-Jun's residence.

The language utilized by the author in the book has the potential to uplift a child's self-esteem and shift their thought patterns, reducing any shyness or reservations they may have previously held. I was thoroughly impressed with the educational content included in the book, particularly the captivating storytelling of the Siberian tiger's history by Kristi, which was sure to capture the attention of the book's intended audience.

The author made a wise decision to include colored illustrations throughout the book, as children are easily swayed by visual stimuli. Moreover, the book cleverly incorporates a method of teaching children the days of the week and months of the year.

What resonated most with me was the wealth of informative material present in the book. Not only does it offer insights into various animal species, but it also provides historical and geographical information on Korea. I appreciated the author's attention to detail in explaining the meanings behind the majority of Korean names mentioned in the book.

While I found this book to be highly informative and entertaining, I did notice that some of the vocabulary used might be too challenging for younger readers to grasp. This could potentially make it difficult for them to fully comprehend the book's intended message. Nevertheless, the book was exceptionally edited and free from errors, which is a testament to its high quality. Based on these positive aspects, I would give the book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. I wholeheartedly recommend Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R. F. Kristi to all children who enjoy a good mystery.
