Produktbeschreibungen
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4–Geronimo Stilton earns his bread and cheese as editor of The Rodent's Gazette, but his true joy is writing adventure yarns. As a globe-trotting newsmouse, he finds plenty of material for his tales–although his exploits never quite work out the way he anticipates. In Curse, Geronimo heads to Egypt to interview eccentric archaeologist Professor Spitfur. The professor claims that the pyramid of Cheops contains the ancient Egyptians' secret method for creating unlimited energy, but legend says the pharaoh's curse awaits anyone who enters the tomb. In the second title, a pirate map sends Geronimo and his intrepid companions from the Gazette on a voyage to find the Emerald Eye. Shipwrecked on the treasure island, the comrades follow the dangerous trail through traps and quicksand to locate the booty. Geronimo's adventures resemble old Saturday morning cartoons with broad humor, stock characters, frenetic action, and comic-book-style illustrations. Even the text is incorporated into the comic motif. Words and phrases are highlighted with a wild miscellany of type fonts, graphics, and colors–often several on a single page. They curve across the pages, slant up or down or twist into odd shapes. While this device is amusing at first, it quickly becomes overwhelming. Transitional readers may be attracted by the flashy design, but for a better-written and funnier adventures series, steer them to Jon Scieszka's "Time Warp Trio" (Viking) instead.–Elaine E. Knight, Lincoln Elementary Schools, IL

Kurzbeschreibung
Who is Geronimo Stilton? Why, that's me! I run a newspaper, but my true passion is writing tales of adventure. Here on Mouse Island, my books are all bestsellers! 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 was a dream come true... I, Geronimo Stilton, was going to EGYPT! I climbed onboard a CRABBY old camel that would take me across the desert to the Great CHEESE Pyramid. There, among MUMMIES and hieroglyphs, I would learn the secret of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient Mouse World....

If you liked Lost Treasure of the Emerald Eye, you'll adore The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid. In the process, you'll probably develop a taste for more of these cheesy tales.
The best of the Geronimo Stilton books display three strengths:
1. Great humor that keeps tykes and parents giggling.
2. Lots of helpful information portrayed in ways that can stimulate a child's interest.
3. Encouragement for children to use good judgment.
In The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid, the Geronimo Stilton series hits its stride in terms of those three dimensions.
The series is written as though the main character, Geronimo Stilton, is describing his own life. As this book opens, Geronimo receives a mysterious telephone call telling him to wake up. He goes back to sleep. Arriving at work, where he runs The Rodent's Gazette, New Mouse City's most popular newspaper, there's trouble: Grandfather William Shortpaws (also known as "Cheap Mouse Willy"), who is the founder of the paper, has descended to make changes. Those changes have only one focus: Save money. Everyone has been fired except for members of the family, and Geronimo's antiques and rare books have been sold for a pittance.
Out of this disaster comes one benefit: Geronimo is sent on assignment to Egypt, a place he's always wanted to visit. But the trip is one humorous pratfall after another as his grandfather shows his flinty side and problems turn up with the story that Geronimo is to cover. But it's all in good fun. And we gain a fun story to read.
As always, the typography is wonderful for literally displaying what the words mean in colorful and imaginative ways. It's a terrific way to help youngster learn to identify words.
If you want to enjoy the story even more, have a pleasant snack of cheese and crackers while you read!

Geronimo Stilton's greatest adventure yet!
24. Mai 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
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!

Rodent hero goes Egyptian!
29. Juli 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
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.
