The good: If your child loves Geronimo Stilton, they'll love this book. It's a good story that even a parent will like. The bad: You really need to read the books that come before to really be able to appreciate the story. I highly recommend all the books in this series.
These books are so fun for early readers. My son at 7 wanted to read all of these as they came out. There are a fair amount of pictures but feels like a chapter book. There is lots of comedy in this series. Geronimo Stilton always has a quest that he has to help save his family of mice. Very cute stories. Highly recommend.
Geronimo Stilton is an author and mouse. This story is about the lost dragon egg and Geronimo has to find it. Fire Breath stole the egg and gave it to trolls. He is the baddy and is mean. Geronimo has to find clues to find the egg. My favorite part is when he smelled poo and when the battle began because I love battles and its funny when he smelled poo. I give it a 5/5 because it’s very enjoyable.
We found the Geronimo Stilton books on vacation at a thrift store. What a wonderful find! My 9 year old has since read the whole Kingdom of Fantasy Series and moved on to all the other Stilton books he can find in our school and public library. The way they are written and illustrated makes them really fun to read.
My 5 year old loves this series and has for the past year and a half. He has had my husband or myself read and re-read this series over and over. He really gets into the characters and loves everything about the books from the maps and great illustrations to the descriptions and introductions of the characters to the way the writing is not just typical one font writing but stylized, colored, and emotive of what the words are saying. My son actually seems to consider Geronimo an imaginary friend and we've made cheesey-full cake and cheese niblets and shared it with Geronimo!This particular series of Geronimo Stilton, "The Kingdom of Fantasy" 1- 5 is extremely creative and full of classic fantasy lore: dragons, witches, gnomes, trolls, giants, elves, fairies, spells, ancient cultures, sprites, sea monsters, love, friends, classic life lessons and Geronimo as the reluctant hero, etc. etc. It's great!When he is a bit older I think these books will be good to assign him to read on his own. I think it's a good way to learn context clues, considering the text puts emotion/feeling into the words via differing fonts and colors.
My son is 5, and we love to read together. I wanted to introduce him to the world of chapter books, since he always wants to read 5+ preschool books every night. We found this book at his school's book fair. I originally had my mind set on another book, but when I opened this one, I knew it was the one. The pages are filled with colors and different fonts, there are pictures but not overbearingly so that he gets distracted from the story. This book really has gotten his attention, and every time we read a chunk, he retains what he's heard based on the plot being very simple, as it should be. I enjoy reading it to him, it is not monotonous, due to the length of it, like re-reading "insert picture book title" can be. We have made Geronimo Stilton Fantasy books our nightly tradition. Great, great, great bedtime book.
Very vivid characters and story. A touching stroy and full of excitment. It keeps me reading until the end. I like it.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a great adventure. It would give you the chills other times it will make your stomach flip. It had an awesome twist in the middle of the book that you will not see coming. If you love advantageous books this is the one for you.
