4.0 out of 5 stars It's like a comic book, May 8, 2011

My six year old son loves the Geronimo Stilton series and we have many of the books. When I ordered this one, I didn't realize it was designed very differently, much like a comic book. My little guy isn't quite ready for this and prefers the chapter books. It does come in a nice hardback format and seems well put together. I'm sure it won't be long until he appreciates this style of book...so we'll just hang on to it until then.
