This review is from: I'm Too Fond of My Fur! (Geronimo Stilton #4) (Paperback)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inviting story and colorful text with pictures, July 26, 2008

This review is from: I'm Too Fond of My Fur! (Geronimo Stilton #4) (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great demonstration of layout!, July 29, 2005

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.
