Review: I found this book on desertcart while looking for an illustrated chapter book series for my then 5 year old daughter. My daughter is an advanced reader, 2-3rd grade level, but very visual and needs illustrations to help her understand the characters. This book is amazing for that and much more. The Kingdom of Fantasy series features an ordinary mouse, Geronimo Stilton, who becomes extraordinary when he travels to the Kingdom of Fantasy. One of the many things I love about this series is that Geronimo is a fearful mouse who helps save people in spite of his fears. My daughter has Sensory Processing Disorder and an anxiety disorder. She gets so much from the fact that Geronimo Stilton can power through and be brave even if he’s scared while doing it. Another thing I appreciate, in light of her anxiety disorder, is that there is no violence or scary stuff. There are several “bad guys” but good always wins. There are also “battle” scenes but they are so benign and the villains only say “we’ll meet again.” As a “words matter” person, I truly appreciate that there is also no disrespectful language either. It bugs me so much when books even include the words stupid or dumb because I’ve taught my daughter that we don’t talk like that. These books include none of that language, which I’m grateful for. We are currently reading #11 and we can’t wait to read the rest of the series! Review: Grabbed this for my eight-year old daughter for Christmas despite not knowing if my daughter knew anything about the intellectual property. She likes dragons and fantasy stories, so it looked like something that might encourage her to spend more time reading instead of gravitating towards picture books. I was really pleasantly surprised to see that the text itself made excellent use of colour and even shape with its layout. Very pleasing to the eye, and definitely did the trick to grab my daughter's attention and get her reading more "chapter books". Fun story too. Will likely end up with more of these.
