Christmas Catastrophe (Geronimo Stilton Series) » (Special)

Geronimo Stilton, adventuremouse? Not me! But surely a little skiing couldn't hurt a rodent, right? Wrong. Moldy mozzarella! When my ski trip landed me in the hospital, I was sure it was going to be the worst Christmas ever! But my family and friends had something else in mind. . . .

Children's Literature

Geronimo Stilton, "publisher and editor in chief of The Rodent's Gazette, the most "famouse" newspaper on Mouse Island," was trying to decide what to write about when his favorite nephew asked him to take him skiing. A ski accident renders Geronimo in the hospital, where he learns he has broken every bone in his body. He proves that laughter and rehab are the perfect prescription for getting well. The full color drawings and maps enhance the text. A variety of fonts in different colors highlight particular words and phrases within the text of the story. The reader will find information interspersed with the madcap humor of the story. For example, there is a page describing the rules of conduct for skiers, descriptions of various types of hospital workers, and tips to make a hospital stay easier. For those who like to cook and experiment with food, there is also a recipe for a mozzarella cheese sandwich. If that is not enough, jokes and games are also included in this addition to the "Geronimo Stilton" series. Reviewer: Sharon Salluzzo
