It's Halloween, You 'Fraidy Mouse! (Geronimo Stilton, No. 11)

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.

I liked all the funny parts of this book. Like when Geronimo got scared of the fake ghost and sticky fake blood on the doorknob. I really liked when Geronimo met Creepella! I read this book in about an hour.

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".
