A treasure hunt in the heart of the city

good book for young kids that are just geting into chapter book ( )

I liked when Trap's pants got stuck on a root, and I liked when Geronimo yelled at Trap and his sister, Thea. This was my first Stilton book, and I plan to read more. ( )

I purchased this book in triplicate with the express purpose of having my two children, aged 6 & 8, read to me instead of me reading to them. The three copies to make reading together easy!

Having both a son and a daughter has made it hard to find books that immediately appeal to both of them and cause them to want to read further on their own. This series of books has accomplished that task!

This is the first of a series of 'detective' books about a slightly neurotic mouse, his sister, and other supporting mice.

What I like most about these books is that they are colourful, simplistic story line, fairly good language with hardly any slang contractions (ex. 'pose instead of suppose), and I myself am actually interested in the story. There is nothing worse than listening to your child read to you and trying to suppress the snores!

So if your goals are like mine, excellent book. If your more of my children's age, I'm going to guess you'll like the book too! ( )

It all started when Geronimo's sister, Thea, discovered an old mysterious map. It showed a secret treasure hidden on a faraway island. In no time at all Thea dragged Geronimo and his cousin Trap, into her treasure hunt. I liked it alot, it was very, very funny especially at the end when they figured out what the map was really for!
