I thought this was a GREAT book! This my favorite Geronimo Stilton book so far! My favorite character (besides Geronimo Stilton) was Professor Spitfur. Geronimo's grandfather sends him to Egypt to do an interview. The most exciting part of the book is that Geronimo gets to go to Egypt. The description of the airplane ride is very funny. The scariest part is when the Professor gets knocked out and Geronimo is left in the dark!I like the way the book is printed with the words being different colors and styles. It has lots of pictures and maps too. It makes it easier for me to read it. I am going to read all fifty titles as they are translated from Italian to English!
i like the book because it holds a good beginning geronimo is angry because when his grand father tells him that he is spending too much he is not happy with his new assigments (which i think is smart because he sharpens pencils by paw) when his grandfather sees that he is not enjoying his new duties he gives him a plane ticket to egypt he is excited but when he goes to the airport he finds out that his grandfather tricked him to go on a plane that is cheaper than the ticket. When he goes on the plane he is put in class z (where he has to use the bathroom in a bedpan) he meets a mouse named Danial E. Deadfur an undertaker. Then the plane engins die and he starts saying the old 'what ifs'. When he reaches in Egypt he is going in a taxi his phone rings its grandfather and he said you are spending tooooooooooooooo much. He tells geronimo to hire a camel and make sure you get a discount then geronimo gets sea sick on land. When he meets Alrat Spitfur.then he gets lost in a tomb gets his way out . he goes back on land he gets rid of grandfather on a around the world cruise it is a very funny book i think you should read it.
I have always liked the mouse so I started creating polymer clay models of it(and the entire office of the Rodent Gazzette).The Egyptian costume is such a great idea to play around with!!!The series is addictive, anyone will get hooked to find out what's next in the mouse if they start reading ANY chapter of the full series.BTW, as the different language versions (I've read Chinese and English so far and compared the versions with the Spanish, French and Italian original) have different number for different "episodes", you don't really have to start from #01.
I buy these for our 8 yr. old grandson, he loves them. We are now on buying him # series books. He loves to get them. I just wish that all Geronimo Stilton books were hard backs. he likes the hard back covers so much better. The # 4 in the series we have been buying is just paper back. Good books for kids to read...
We first heard of Geronimo Stilton with this story. My son got a FREE CD of this from Wendy's a couple of years ago. We would listen to it all the time. Now we are into reading these stories. I recommend Geronimo to all families with kids that like to read.
The plus: Well written, easy to read by young readers.The bad: The best children books are the ones that are not only for children but resist readings at many levels and ages. We bought a sample of printed and recorded versions of the Italian best selling mouse stories and were quiet disappointed. The writing flows and reads well. The recording is professional and well done. The plot lines and color however, are often tacky and slapstick, going for the quick laugh of body sounds and fluids that are so appealing at certain young ages. My kids 5 and 8 were left alone with the audiobook and did not complain. When prompted however, they said they liked Roahl Dahl or Lemony Snickett better. I put the audiobook in the car on a long trip and my wife and I couldn't take it. We made the effort to read the book home with them and although it was better, there were too many clichés and formulaic effects.Conclusion: There is an almost infinite number of children books out there, but there are very few that are noteworthy. JS is an easy to read best seller but not a keeper if you want something more refined.
My daughter first discovered Geronimo Stilton through her school's Scholastic Book Orders. It is sometimes difficult to find age appropriate books for my above average reader who just completed first grade. These books are funny and engaging. She goes through them pretty quickly, but there are many, many books in the series. We bought extra copies of numbers 1 and 2 to give as birthday gifts.
(ages 6-10) okay so i just wanted to say that this hillrious book series is amazing. and The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid is especially good. im eleven and ive been reading geronimo stilton books since i was eight. i still enjoy them immensely. but i also highly reccomend the Thea Stiton books for more advanced readers ages 9-12. they are mysteries but kinda like Geronimo books. they are not so repetitive. A GREAT BUY. good luck Enjoy.
