Product Description: Who Is Geronimo Stilton? That's me! I run a newspaper, but my true passion is writing tales of adventure. Here on Mouse Island, my books are all best-sellers! What's that? You've never read one? Well, my books are full of fun. They are whisker-licking good stories, and that's a promise!
I'm Too Fond of My Fur! I was on my way 'round the world to Mouse Everest! The trip was long and dangerous. I almost froze my tail off on the way. And then I was kidnapped by the Abominable Snowman! Yes, it was truly an amazing adventure....
always loved We can't get our hands on enough of these books fast enough. They have my son laughing so hard, I am glad he doesn't have a weak bladder.
Inviting story and colorful text with pictures I found my daughter need a little pull to get her into chapter books, even though she is an advanced reader. I think this is partly because she is so visual. Most early chapter books have little color and few photos. These books are the exception. Fun fonts with lots of color and colored pictures. It really is inviting to the child.
Book Review by Cameron From the Himalayas to Mouseland, there's a phone call. Soon Geronimo grabs his family and set out to help Professor Von Valt. While trying to help him, he is captured by a yeti! While trying to escape, he finds a yeti cub! In this book you'll see how crazy Geronimo is. If you like traveling this is perfect for you.
Great demonstration of layout! Children should really read the Geronimo Stilton series - the rodent is just so adventurous!
I do love the way it is laid out. The fun is so special when you place 2 language versions side by side so that young children can compare them. This is a great way to get them interested to learn a foreign language as well.
Try Geronimo if you don't see your kinds interested in reading - you'd be surprised by the charm of this cheesy mouse.
Great New Discovery I just bought this book for my son's 8th birthday. He's a fairly average reader so we're going through it together, and we both just love the story and characters, who are of varying ages and personalities. The book captures your attention right off with the common problem of being taken in by a TV commercial.
We love the varying type styles, illustrations and fun descriptions. We just popped onto amazon.com to learn more, and are excited to see so many titles to collect. The reading level is about age 9 or so, but the interest range is definitely at least 7-11. Also, my son is just learning about dialogue, and this story is great for reinforcing that, as well as increasing his reading vocabulary. It may not be fine literature, but it's fun and fresh and full of inoffensive charm, which is harder to come by for boys of this age than for girls.
