This time I ordered 10 of these Geronimo Stilton series for my 8 year-old daughter. She is loving every bit of them. The books arrived 2 days ago. As of last night she finished 3 books already.

She already has 22 books of this series. It is her ambition to collect all by the end of the year.

Geronimo cannot resist his nephew, Benjamin, when he pleads to be taken skiing. The moment Geronimo offers to treat, a pack of friends and relatives decides to go skiing with them. Before you can say "Swiss Cheese," Geronimo is paying huge bills for a nice lodge on Frozen Fur Peak, transportation and meals. Life goes downhill from there, starting with the news that Geronimo must bunk with his cousin, Trap.

At least he gets to go skiing. Geronimo loves this activity --- until the slope show-off knocks into him. The two roll downhill, gathering snow as they travel, before they smash into a boulder. Geronimo ends up in the hospital, where he finds out he has broken every single bone in his body and must have surgery. He is so sad. Geronimo will be in the hospital for a very long time. The accident is sure to ruin his holidays. But the story of how his spirits rise makes for an uplifting read.

In addition to a fun plot, CHRISTMAS CATASTROPHE offers recipes, jokes, interesting hospital information, skiing rules and games.

Geronimo Stilton hates to go to the hospital, but he realizes he has never been to one. This book helps kids to relate to going to the hospital and being afraid. Great action, full of fun to create crafts, stories and jokes. Our favorite book! A+++

My 7-year-old son is an avid reader and has been glued to this book for a month now. He owns 10 Geronimo Stilton books, but this one is by far his favorite book. He finds this book very amusing.

Geronimo Stilton has to be one of the most fun and captivating series ever written for grade school children. While Magic Treehouse books took over our house for years, the Geronimo Stilton series has captured the attention of my youngest child much more than the others ever did. Each adventure is crammed full of colorful descriptions and memorable characters that hold her attention longer than most books. My daughter began reading these books in the 3rd grade, but a more advanced child could take them on by 2nd grade. If your looking for a series that offers something from a different angle (as a mouse's angle is definitely different!)then this series will not disappoint. There is a theme for every occasion and most with a more modern twist. I purchased this particular Special Christmas Edition as a gift and have no doubts that it will be a hit with my child. These books are a must read for boys and girls alike!

I really liked this book. It made me laugh and laugh. I like that it is wholesome - it's fun without being inappropriate. So, my parents let me read them. It also has a good point. It is about doing your best. Definitely read this book if you like to laugh and don't like bad stuff in your books.

geronimo stilton, adventuremouse? not me! but surely a little skiing couldn't hurt a rodent, right? wrong. moldy mozzarella_ when my ski trip landed me in the hospital, i was sure it was going to be a bad christmas but my friends abd family had something else in mind...

I am a teacher and huge fan of the always fascinating Geronimo Stilton books. Not only will readers gain a love of reading from this book (as well as the whole series), but also be in awe of the inspiring and clever ways of writing. Absolutely a must for all children to read as well as to be read aloud to in classrooms and at home. When I gave each of my students two GS books for Christmas, it was the loudest roar of happiness that any teacher (and Geronimo Stilton) could receive!

As usual Geronimo is up to his wonderful self. My daughter & I love these books, wonderfully written and illustrated.
