Enter the world of Geronimo Stilton, where another funny adventure is always right around the corner. Each book is a fast-paced adventure with lively art and a unique format kids 7-10 will love.

It's Halloween on Mouse Island, and it seemed like everyone was out to get me, Geronimo Stilton! My cousin Trap kept pulling scary pranks on me. And then my sister Thea told me I had to write a book about Halloween in less than one day!

Before you could say boo, my nephew Benjamin had dragged me to a graveyard to do research. There I met a very spooky mouse who -- yikes! -- tried to lock me up in her coffin! Oh, how would a 'fraidy mouse like me ever survive the year's scariest holiday?

This review is from: It's Halloween, You 'Fraidy Mouse! (Geronimo Stilton, No. 11) (Mass Market Paperback)

The book was about a rodent called Geronimo Stilton, who was scared of holidays, trips, ghost
and other scary things. He is also the publisher of the Rodents Gazette.
He has a sister called Thea, an annoying cousin called Trap and a nephew called Benjamin.
The reasons I liked the book:

1. It was very funny when Trap did tricks on him.
One of his tricks was to put red paint on the door so Geronimo Stilton thought it was blood.
2. I liked the part when it was the Halloween Party.
3. I also liked the Halloween Book because it had lots of things you can do on Halloween.

You should read it you know! It has information about Halloween. You will laugh when you read Traps's tricks.

This review is from: It's Halloween, You 'Fraidy Mouse! (Geronimo Stilton, No. 11) (Mass Market Paperback)

My daughter had started to read "chapter books" but found them a bit boring (lots of writing and no pictures!). To keep her motivated I reasearched and came across this serie. I bought the first 3 and she loved it. In fact she begged me to buy more books from the serie. I did get 10 more and she read them all in a couple of days! The good thing is she re-reads them to herself and her 4 year old brother. They find some stories interesting, others fun or just plain silly. I have found that, for example, the use of different fonts and colors for words in a sentence (not just word after word of black and white as she puts it) keeps her interested. I plan to buy the rest of the serie and I am sure my yougest will still find it a great read when he gets to "chapter books".

The following review is by Isabella(6yrs):
"crumbling cheese treats it was halloween the spookiest day of the year and my nephew benjamin had dragged me to a graveyard to do research for my newest book. there i met creepella von cacklefur a very spooky mouse who yikes tried to lock me up in her coffin oh how would a fraidy mouse like me ever survive."

Parental comment: Halloween may not be our favorite holiday but this book presents a good vehicle to help the children read. Creepy goings on at the mouse house. Plus how to make costumes and carve pumpkins. I guess its alright. But there sure are better Stilton books to chose from.
