[Sunshine · Rating 2 out of 5]

As an adult that reads with her children I look for certain qualities in a book that I find redeeming. Meaningful characters, good morals or lessons taught...a proper noun. While this wasn't complete trash, I would prefer to spend my time with something containing a bit more depth. Yes, even children's literature can have depth.

3.0

This was a cute one! I love that it reiterates the importance of trust and loyalty among friends. It's a good book to remind kids that it's okay to ask for help too.

Always a cute time with Geronimo. I find the audio books to be quite cute and entertaining.

*Update*
Geronimo got a scary call from his friend Professor Von Holtz, saying he needed help and told him to come quickly. Geronimo travels to find his friend and the legend of the yeti! Will it be a dangerous journey or will everything turn out fine!

This story was really cute and funny. I remember reading this with my brother and him singing all the songs that Trap was singing. I learned a lot about Mount Everest and heard it is a very dangerous journey because of how cold it is. Many travelers have had frostbite as a result of it. I cannot wait for the rest of the series as it will be my first time reading it since I was a child.

Who Is Geronimo Stilton?
That's me! I run a newspaper, but my true passion is writing tales of adventure. Here on Mouse Island, my books are all best-sellers! What's that? You've never read one? Well, my books are full of fun. They are whisker-licking good stories, and that's a promise!

My review: I thought I was really cute book and everything and my brother laughed so much during this one and was singing the songs that Trap was singing and it was really cute to watch him do all of it and i can't wait to read the next one with him.

This one is probably my favorite. There are Yetis and a Woolly Mammoth. Geronimo gets a call from a friend who needs his help. Says he found the Yeti. Geronimo is under the impression that he is in trouble and Geronimo goes to rescue him. When he finds his friend, he finds out that he is just trying to save the Yeti cub from dying. After Geronimo helps the cub, he finds a Woolly Mammoth frozen in ice and decides to write a story on that. When they get back home, the press is surrounding them for pictures. The museum defrosts the Mammoth and puts him on display for everyone.

Professor Von Volt called Geronimo to Mouse Everest to save the last Everest Yetis in the world. Geronimo reached his destination he was not in trouble the baby Yeti was in trouble because he had chicken-pox. Professor Von Volt asked Geronimo to hand him a book he found the medicine for the chicken-pox to save the baby Yeti. When Geronimo came home to the camp he saw a woolly mammoth and wrote about it in the Rodent's Gazette.

I read this book because i felt like it. My sister has a whole bunch of them and i got really bored. I actually liked this book. I'm reading another one right now.

[Mary Ann · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoy these stories because they have more information and sometimes use literary references that are funny!

[Mercedes Puelma · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bueno pero me gusta la parte en la que muestran a bebe yeti

[Edward Davies · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun enough, but I don't like the artwork in the earlier books.

[Alexandre · Rating 4 out of 5]

Was a good book but not one of my favourites

[Christine (KizzieReads) · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn't find this one as interesting as the last one. Maybe because haunted houses are more interesting to me then Yeti's are. LOL

[Becky · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m letting my boys review this one. Older son says he liked the yetis, younger son liked the woolly mammoth, and both of them thought Trap’s songs were hilarious.

Another great adventure with Geronimo Stilton.

[Lillyana · Rating 3 out of 5]

i have reason to believe that professor von volt is the oppenhiemer of the stiltonverse.

[Reyansh Gandhi · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent adventure book. How Geronimo Stilton travels halfway of the world to climb up Mount Everest (in their language - Mouse Everest), and was kidnapped by a Yeti ! It was an interesting adventure read. Now, the next book I want to read is Geronimo Stilton's Lost Treasure Of The
Emerald eye. Recommended for every adventures book reader.

[Chelsea Patterson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read this with my 7 year old and we loved it! So much excitement and it’s kind of historical fiction or like fictional nonfiction as we learn new things and a lot of new true information, but it a cute mouse like way! These books are so fun!

Placeholder for Les Drogues (expliquées aux adolescents) par Bruno Boutot. Im gonna get Grace to help me find the actual book.

[Ethan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not my favourite of the Stilton books by any means but always a reminder of why I love reading and a series I’ll happily pick up when I’m in a slump.

[Joanna · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm just re-reading out of pure nostalgia, NOT BECAUSE, I totally used to have an elementary school crush on Geronimo or anything.....

[Y06C Yichen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is called ‘ I’m Too Fond of my fur’ by Elisabetta Dami. In this story, Geronimo Stilton receives a call from Professor Von Volt, saying that he needs help finding his secret diary in the Himalayas because Professor Von Volt is trapped in his secret lab. After that, Geronimo Stilton went to the airport to catch a flight to the Himalayas to save him. To find Professor Von Volt, he had to climb the highest mountain in the world- Mount Everest. However, while he was climbing, he got lost in the mountain and was caught by a gigantic, bizarre yeti. At that moment, he realized he saw the appearance of Professor Von Volt. He then ran as quick as a fox, to approach him. Finally, he got on the submarine because Professor Von Volt wanted to show him the strange creatures underwater. At last, Professor Von Volt went back home with his father and Geronimo Stilton went back to New Mouse City.

This book wanted to tell readers that they should be resilient against significant challenges. My favorite part of the book is when Geronimo Stilton found Professor Von Volt because the most gigantic problem was solved at that moment. I will recommend this book to somebody who likes to go on adventures and likes to face problems and overcome them because Geronimo Stilton faced a problem in the severe weather and found Professor Von Volt. I will probably read more about Geronimo Stilton. I rate this book 4.7 stars because some parts are too complex to understand what is happening in the setting.

[Felix Teoh · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is about the adventure that Geronimo Stilton, his sister Thea, his cousin Trap and his favourite nephew Benjamin had rescuing his friend Professor Paws Von Volt from a yeti. It all starts when Geronimo receives a distress call from his friend Professor Paws Von Volt saying that he had spotted a yeti and that his life was in danger. So off they went to Kathmandu, Nepal and they eventually found him at Mouse Everest with a little help from strangers.

I liked that the storyline built up and became this super exciting masterpiece because first it was in a house and then the top of Mouse Everest! I also liked that the illustrations were there to help my imagination and made it a blockbuster movie in my mind.

I wished that the book was longer because it was a very funny book and also because I finished the book in one night.

One thing I disliked about the book is Trap. He always plays jokes on Geronimo at the wrong time and if I were in Geronimo’s shoes, I would hate to have a cousin like that.

[Sandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love how Geronimo Stilton books often involve multiple members of the Stilton family. The quirks that Thea, Trap, and Benjamin each bring to the table made this book so much funnier. Trap, in particular, was absolutely spectacular in this book, with his entertaining songs.

Don’t look down, it’s much too scary! Watch that step, be very wary! Poor Geronimo, you’re such a cheesehead, You get dizzy when you climb out of bed!

Trap, the only mouse that could sing about cheese.

Mozzarella, parmesan, Don’t forget the cheddar. Goat cheese, Swiss cheese, Any of these are better! There are so many cheeses, Why stick to just one? When tasting all different kinds Is really half the fun!

Anyhow, this book makes for a quick, entertaining read for readers of all ages!

[Isaiah · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was not as good as other Geronimo Stilton books, but it was funny enough and had a good plot. I have read much better books in this series ,but this one at least has some mystery, some humor, and is interesting enough to keep reading. So i give it a 3/5.

Basically Geronimo gets a call from his scientist friend saying he needs help because he found a yeti. So Geronimo decides to help but wants his family's help too. So they catch a plane to Nepal and search for his lost friend. That is where the big part of the story starts. Geronimo sees a yeti shadow that only appears to him. It seems to be spying on Geronimo, but nobody else.

If you like mystery stories, then you should read this book.

What a delightful book! Beautiful illustrations and wonderful place names make it a real winner. After reading it myself (just to be sure!) I gave it to my neighbour's seven year old who adored it. And of course wanted the rest of the series!! Highly recommended to pull them away from their screens.

[Hannah Belyea · Rating 4 out of 5]

Geronimo could have never, ever imagined that his trip around Mount Everest would lead to being kidnapped by a yeti of all things! Dami will keep young readers glued to the pages with this fantastic adventure in the next entry to the "Geronimo Stilton" series. Be sure to bundle up as you read along with this terrific journey!
