Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4–Geronimo Stilton is a mouse with a nose for adventure. As editor of New Mouse City's The Rodent's Gazette, Geronimo gets to share the details of his many adventures. Often accompanied by his sister Thea, cousin Trap, and nephew Benjamin, Geronimo finds adventure wherever he goes. In Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye, Geronimo and his family set off on a quest to find the secret treasure marked on a mysterious map. In The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid, Geronimo is sent to Egypt to interview the famous archeologist Alrat Spitfur about the Great Cheese Pyramid. While there, Spitfur takes Geronimio into the cursed pharaoh's tomb beginning another grand adventure. In Cat and Mouse in a Haunted House, Geronimo, a self proclaimed fraidy-mouse, finds himself stuck alone in a dark forest on a stormy October night. Things look up when Geronimo finds a castle to take shelter in, but he soon discovers that cats haunt the castle. Narrator Edward Herrmann gives each character an individual voice, instilling the eager, inquisitive qualities of true adventurers into each mouse. However, almost constant background music and sound effects undermine the quality storytelling, frequently overpowering the narration. Herrmann's narration alone would have been much more effective. An additional purchase for collections where Geronimo Stilton books are in demand.–Veronica Schwartz, Des Plaines Public Library, IL --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Geronimo Rocks, June 13, 2007

This review is from: Geronimo Stilton: Books 1-3: #1: Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye; #2: The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid; #3: Cat and Mouse in a Haunted House (Audio CD)

The Geronimo series books and audio books are all great. The audio books are well-done and do a lovely job of bringing stories to life. I definitely recommend listening to Sitlton for a long car/plane ride rather than the brain-numbing GameBoy. And my husband and I even enjoy listening in and will play the CD in the car rather than letting our kids listen privately on their Ipods. I also find these audio books to be a great price. If you're not familiar with the actual books, give them a try, too. The puns captivate your older reader who may techinically be older than the suggested reading level, and the fun colored fonts will encourage younger readers to push themselves. I am a big believer in reading books both below, at, and above reading levels (to gain confidence, push yourself, reinforce, and enjoy), so the Geronimo books are wonderful to appeal to those from ages 6 to 10 minimum.

My 9 Year old daughter was having some trouble with her reading and the entire Stilton series has reversed that. The books are very well written for young readers and the stories are even fun for the parent to read as well. Overall this is a fun series with alot of good humor and will make you child enjoy their reading experience

This review is from: Geronimo Stilton: Books 1-3: #1: Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye; #2: The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid; #3: Cat and Mouse in a Haunted House (Audio CD)

My son is just turning 3 and LOVES to listen to Geronimo in the car. The chapters are just the right length for short trips to the supermarket or post office. He quotes the narrator and loves the sound effects. It is entertaining for me too. Trust me, I've heard these 3 stories again and again. I got introduced to the series from a free CD of Curse of the Cheese Pyramid in the kid's meal at Wendy's. (I wish more fast food places would try this as a prize instead of plastic junk--it really gets the kids interested in reading.) He loved it and I've bought the first 2 sets in the series. If it's great for a 3 year old, it would be even better for kindergarten - 3rd graders too. I highly recommend it.
