Product Description
Who is Geronimo Stilton? That's me! I run a newspaper, but my true passion is writing tales of adventure. Here on Mouse Island, my books are all best-sellers! What's that? You've never read one? Well, my books are full of fun. They are whisker-licking good stories, and that's a promise! It all started when my sister, Thea, discovered a mysterious map. It showed a secret treasure on a faraway island. And before I could let out a squeak of protest, Thea dragged me into her treasure hunt! In no time at all, we'd set sail for the island. It was an adventure I'd never forget...

Makes Me Feel Like I'm Four Again,
By Donald Mitchell "Jesus Loves You!" (Thanks for Providing My Reviews over 112,000 Helpful Votes Globally) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (#1 HALL OF FAME)
This review is from: Geronimo Stilton #1: The Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye (Paperback)
When I was about four years old, I couldn't get enough of stories about lost and buried treasures, treasure maps, and daunting adventures to follow such maps. Naturally, I had to rely on someone to read those stories to me. When I was older, I graduated to reading the stories myself and eventually found books such as Treasure Island and She. Later, I began to read about real-life adventures in exotic locales. As a teenager, a local radio station buried a "treasure" and teased us with clues for months; I joined my friends in digging on vacant desert land in all directions. It was great fun.Ever since then, I've wondered how I could find a book to start my grandchildren, grand nephews and nieces, and other favored children with to help them develop the same appetite. I mention that desire because I never quite found the right book for my children when they were growing up. The Geronimo Stilton series is off to a grand start in Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye. It has all of the elements that anyone could want: lost treasure, a mysterious treasure map, a treasure island, and the need to sail to get there. To make the story more appealing, we have a mouse family with interesting quirks that reminded me of the many Uncle Scrooge comics I loved as a child that involved looking for lost treasure in obscure locales while Donald Duck did the heavy lifting. Geronimo Stilton is a mouse designed to please anyone. He has all the personality that Mickey Mouse (that venerable Disney icon) lacks. He's the serious responsible one (the correspondent to Uncle Scrooge). His sister Thea is the intuitive one, encouraging everyone forward. Trap is the hopeless relative who manages to be more helpful than anyone expects (including Trap). The drawings are very imaginative, drawn in rich warm colors that make you want to spend time with them. The book has lots of background illustrations about Mouse Island and New Mouse City to help youngsters get into the mood. The typography is brilliant. Words are reproduced to reflect what they mean. "Rocking back and forth" at sea is represented as a sine wave like a roller coaster, for instance. How can any youngster not want to know what those words mean and then quickly memorize them? The later books in the series have more educational content than this one, but they are certainly no more fun. Start with this book, and I predict you'll want to read the whole series!

Geronimo Stilton is the Greatest Mouse Author Ever!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Geronimo Stilton #1: The Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye (Paperback)
I thought this was a really good book. My favorite character (besides Geronimo Stilton) was Geronimo's cousin, Trap. He is very funny. Thea finds a treasure map and she gets Geronimo and Trap to go looking for the treasure. The scariest part of the book was when the Lucky Lady sank! The most exciting part is when Geronimo finally sees the Emerald Eye!I also 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!

Geronimo Stilton will be a hit,
By K. Willhite "Children's Librarian and mom" (Scotts, MI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Geronimo Stilton #1: The Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye (Paperback)
Meet Geronimo Stilton, the mouse editor of The Rodent's Gazette. He is a conservative mouse that is swept up in a treasure hunt to locate the Emerald Eye. The text is fun using various font styles and rebus type drawings. This fun romp is perfect for children 2nd grade and up. This would also be great for kids that have enjoyed the Series of Unfortunate Events. Mouse Island and Geronimo will be back in future titles in this new series.
