Review of Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula
[Following is a volunteer review of "Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula" by R.F. Kristi.]
When going through this book, I was just thinking to myself that maybe this could easily pass for a Sherlock Holmes for kids. OK, maybe not, but it's a good book for kids to get a feel for detective concepts. Cat Detectives in the Korean Peninsula by R.F. Kristi is about a sassy Siberian cat named Inca and her friends. She has a human mom called Missy. She and her family had to go to South Korea for a cookery competition. Missy was given the opportunity to be one of the judges in the competition organized by the famous French Cookery School called Le Cordon Bleu, which would be held in South Korea.
They had to crack a case upon getting to South Korea. The case was about the prize-winning cheese that went missing. Were they able to crack the case? Find out in the book. The book had themes of fear, bravery, loyalty, and peace, to name just a few. The book is actually a part of the Inca Detective Series, even though Kristi wrote it as a stand-alone book. The reader won't find it hard to follow through. Kristi made sure to introduce the characters at the beginning of the book. This definitely helped me get to know the characters and follow through with the story, seeing that I was kind of new to the series.
The team also has to solve an issue their translator, Ye-Jun, has. Ye-Jun has a sister named Ji and a cat called Bo-Mi. He was separated from Ji when she went to visit their family in North Korea. Will they be able to reunite them?
I liked how Kristi developed the characters to reflect the true-life attitudes and behaviors of the creatures. The illustrations were topnotch, thoroughly depicting the facial expressions of the animals and humans. The book was written in simple English, making it easy for children to understand. The paragraphs and sentences weren't lengthy. Although some French phrases were used, they were explained in the passage for the reader. In all, the story was interesting, educative, and really engaging.
I disliked nothing about the book. It felt like I was a kid again going through the book. There were no typos that I noticed, as the book was exceptionally well-edited. As a result, I would rate the book four out of four stars.
I highly recommend this interesting story to kids and parents with kids. It can definitely serve as a bedtime story for little children. Adults who, like me, love to express themselves and just feel like kids again will love this too.
