We'll Always Have Paris
What’s Geronimo to do in order to prevent the Pirate Cats from turning the almost-complete Eiffel Tower into a gigantic monument to Catardone’s already monumental ego?

Mijn zoontje van 8 jaar heeft dit boek alleen gelezen en ik ook. Het is het eerste boek wat hij van Geronimo Stilton leest en is helemaal fan nu! Ik heb eerder met mijn dochter al een boek van hem gelezen, dus ik was al fan. Dit boek is in stripverhaal vorm geschreven. De plaatjes maken het nog echter en van dit boek leer je ongemerkt ook iets over de Eiffeltoren.

Geronimo Stilton traveled through the Speedrat to 1887 Paris, France. The Pirate cats were trying to
get Gustave Eiffel to name the tower named after them but after that did not work. They loaded
the Eiffel tower with explosives to transform the tower into the shape of a cat. Geronimo went back
to the lab of the Prof. Von Volt for help. The Prof. came back with them and did his one round of explosions. Prof Von Volt's plan had worked! Geronimo and his friends went home and had a party!

It was my first Geronimo Stilton book. I liked it. It was nice to see it had some info for the kids that was correct or it seems correct.
There is a mouse to relate too.
I'm curious for the next one...

More entertaining than educating compared to other volumes, so I found it better than a few of the others.

Me he convertido en una lectora de estos cómics de Geronimo Stilton y tengo que admitir que me gustan más que las historias narrativas de este ratón.

Je l'ai bien aimé parce que les chats pirates était très bête d'enlever leur masque de sourie.

These comic books are pretty much all the same - tricking children into learning, while repeating weird plots by the Pirate Cats to change history by creating monuments to cats. Weird stuff.

This book is a comic that tells the tale of an adventurous mouse named Geronimo. It is interesting and attention attracting. This book I would suggest to people who enjoy short, loveable comics!

I made it a goal of mine to read all of the Geronimo Stilton books this year. What better time to start than during quarantine! This is a cute little story mixed with the history of the Eiffel Tower. It’s perfect for JUVs who like to read and parents who want to their kids to learn something new!

Back Cover: Geronimo Stilton is the editor of the Rodent's Gazette, the most famous paper on Mouse Island. In his free time he loves to tell fun, happy stories. In this adventure, Geronimo has to face his worst enemies, the Pirate Cats, who have discovered a way to travel back in time and change history . . .
France, 1889, the Eiffel Tower stands completed and ready to be unveiled to everyone in Paris and to the rest of the world . . . but Catardone has a sensational surprise in store for the city! And this time not even Geronimo Stilton can thwart the daring plan of the Pirate Cats! Geronimo must find someone else to help him and fast!
Geronimo Stilton has been involved in ten other adventures. This is his eleventh and he could be about to finally fail a mission. Catardone the cat is a bad cat. A very bad cat. He and his cohorts have found a way to travel back in time to 1889 Paris, where they plan to upset history and the biggest monument in Paris!
Professor Von Volt, a famous scientist on Mouse Island, built a time machine for Geronimo and his family just to defeat the devious cats. The "Speedrat" zooms through time and space faster than a bully who has meet his comeuppance. To Paris they go. Disguised as construction workers, the Stilton's help build the Eiffel Tower while trying to find out what the cats are up to. The plan discovered, Geronimo realizes he cannot defeat Catardone alone and calls in a special weapon. Hopefully, Catardone and his cataclysmic catastrophe can be stopped before the world as we know it no longer exists.
This is my first Geronimo Stilton graphic novel and I enjoyed every panel. Never interested in graphic novels until just recently, PaperCutz books are great fun, humorous, and didactic. Kids will love this book. The story is funny in a way kids enjoy, while entertaining adults as well. The antics of the Catardone Cats (Gang?), remind me of Sylvester and Tweety Bird or the Roadrunner and Wyle E. Coyote.
I really liked the occasional box detailing something about that era or about the Eiffel Tower in particular. One of the designs Catardone tries to use is a twenty-first century design, mixing the past with the future. How will the cat of all cats pass off the architecture of a twenty-first century architect to the creator of the Eiffel Tower?
The building looks like a pickle and uses details not yet seen in Europe. Have you ever wondered what it took to build the Eiffel Tower? Well, honestly, I never have, but the information in We Always Have Paris is fascinating and I am glad to have read it. The snippets are good and kids will find them interesting. I also like the occasional definition for an uncommon word. It simply appears in a small box, no intrusion, no graphic pulling your eyes, and yet difficult to overlook.
The illustrations are brightly colored, finely detailed, and expressive; all of the qualities of good illustration. The panels of the story are fun to look at, they enhance the text, and could easily be a successful Saturday morning cartoon. The only "bad" I have to say about the illustrations concerns the characters that are cats. At times, without the disguises, a cat reminded me of a mouse more than a cat. I would prefer more cat-features that are distinctly cattish.
Geronimo Stilton: We'll Always Have Paris is a fun read for both boys and girls. I would also recommend this for reluctant readers of both genders. Geronimo Stilton is the narrator and credited author. He often clarifies a strange word or other needed information. Kids could write their own side boxes or panels, thus integrating one more sense into the learning process. This volume of Geronimo Stilton, and those before it, would be great additions to any first or second grade classroom library. The story is sure to peak their interest in the Eiffel Tower and Paris, plus when it is fun, memories are better. Those Eiffel Tower tidbits can start young minds thinking.

We've read most of the Geronimo Stilton Graphic Novels published so far and our girls really like them. I thought they were very hard to read aloud at first, but I've gotten used to them. And I love that this story includes bits of history from 19th century Paris and introduces children to the background of the construction of the Eiffel Tower.
We started reading this book together, but it was forgotten for about a week, so our girls finished it on their own. I prefer that, actually, because of the graphic novel format. So, since I was the last to read the book, I started again from the beginning and read it very quickly. It was a strange, but entertaining story, although I was surprised by the ending . We will certainly read more of the graphic novels as they are published as well as numerous Geronimo Stilton chapter books too.
