GERONIMO STILTON Books 1-3

Original music, sound effects, and Edward Herrmann's prodigious narrative talents entertain young listeners, while mouse-puns and sly humor keep older listeners engaged. Geronimo, editor of the "Rodent's Gazette," has a passion to write adventure tales. For a mouse who doesn't like the unknown, frightens easily, and prefers the comforts of home, he finds himself in some real predicaments with sister Thea, cousin Trap, and nephew Benjamin. Some sound effects overwhelm the narration, yet Herrmann succeeds in giving voice to a reluctant, resilient hero who falls into every disaster life throws at him and climbs out with a bestselling adventure story that will tickle your funny bone.
