I really liked this book. So the main character Geronimo Stilton was going on a skiing trip and someone hit him so Geronimo had to go to the hospital it was that bad, and then at the end of the book he was all better. So then they went on a nother trip and they were all happy.

This Christmas Geronimo and his family tried skiing down the mountains. But unfortunately this Christmas isn't as merry for Geronimo as he breaks his bones while skiing. geronimo crashes into a person when skiing and tumbles down the mountain. how sad. my favourite character in this book is Speedy daremouse as he was really rude and very daring. my favourite part was when trap did not allow Geronimo to go for the surgery because thought that bit was extremely hilarious . Traps reactions were so funny.

I usually love these but this didn't hit the mark. I went in with different expectations, hoping the Christmas spirit would summon me. Instead, I ended up reading about a mouse who broke all his bones a few months before Christmas after a tragic accident. It's a book for kids but it shouldn't have been so light hearted and so unrealistic despite the useful information about hospitals and skiing. Also Trap has to be my least favourite character, he's disrespectful, obnoxious, and a walking red flag. I wouldn't have forgiven someone who broke my entire body so easily either, I don't care as to how quickly mice heal. I'd have wanted vengeance, a hearing in court, a prison sentence, anything to get the rude brat out the way of innocent citizens and bystanders.

All Geronimo wanted to do was something lovely for his nephew until all his family and friends barged in, took advantage of his wealth and made fun of him when he got hurt. Insensitive af. The message was that laughter is the best medicine yet the jokes were pathetic and would have made me feel further pain rather than help me heal quicker. Somehow still always nostalgic despite of the story and its premise. I look forward to reading the actual Geronimo Christmas tales. This took me less than an hour to get through haha

The second special edition book in the Geronimo Stilton series, this book centres around Geronimo getting hurt on the ski slopes and having to stay in the hospital for an extended period of time. Geronimo learns how wonderful hospitals and the people in the hospitals are and how they help all kinds of people all the time. He learned to not be afraid of hospitals anymore. Also he learned that anyone can bring a little joy, no matter how big or small, into someone's life.

Very funny and also education with all of the information about hospital's, the different specialists in the hospital and what is done in hospitals. Great book with a lovely holiday ending.

My youngest loved this series as a kid and now as a teen sometimes will pick one up for a quick read. This one was new to us and didn't disappoint. Loved how Geronimo was in the hospital but turned it into a real teaching experience for young readers. It not only followed a story but had little rabbit trail to explain things going on around him.

In this book Geronio Stilton brakes every bone in his body. He goes skiing one day and falls and then brakes every bone in his body. Hope you enjoy reading.

It was so funny. Geronimo Stilton said, "I probably didn't break any bones.". But, he actually did break every single bone in his body. He was being silly. Geronimo Stilton is a funny character.

Geronimo is pretty funny and this is the first chapter book we read aloud as a family, so it'll always have a special place in my heart.
