This would be a fun read for elementary aged children. Some pirate cats go back in time to stop Columbus from discovering America. Geronimo Stilton and his children go back to stop them. It's goofy and there's not much for adults here but I'm sure kids will enjoy it.

[Patricia · Rating 5 out of 5]

#1. This book is meant for elementary school aged children...adults who read this and all other children's books should probably remember who the target audience is while reading it and reviewing it.

#2. It is a fantasy based story that is primarily meant to entertain the child reader.

#3. This tiny book is a great little aid in the social studies department. We read it after reading a real book on Christopher Columbus and the discovery of America. Absolutely wonderful and memorable.

#4. My child---the target audience---really liked this book and so we will happily continue with the series.

I gotta say, reading reviews of adults who are complaining about the aspects of time-travel in this book make me wanna give it 4/5 stars just to make them a little more mad. Like yes, age 7 to 10 children will definitely worry that much about paradoxes of time-travel in a book where all the characters are humanoid mice and cats who have names that are puns. And yeah, you're right about how the writer should've indicated how awful Columbus was in a children's book when the story is about a group of mice trying to stop pirate cats from undoing the history and make it not sound too political. That would've been so fun for a child to read.

I'm not gonna defend fucking Christopher Columbus but this was a children's graphic novel for fuck's sake. Did y'all really read a Geronimo Stilton book and expect to have a history lesson? Damn.

[Jason · Rating 2 out of 5]

Notions of time travel in this book are absolutely ridiculous. The heroes have to "catch up" to the cat pirates and get to medieval Spain a day later than them. What? Why not go back in time to before the cats get there and kick their asses? There's a lot of silliness that I suppose kids would like, but that doesn't really add to the plot. I was hoping that the graphic novels would improve on the books (as the Goosebumps graphics novels do), but it's the same mass-marketed, cheap thrills kind of monkeyshines that the the books offer. I suppose they're worth adding to a collection because G.S. is insanely popular, but I may be losing a bit of my soul for doing so. Sigh.

This is the first graphic novel in the Geronimo Stilton Graphic Novel series published by Papercutz. I read this to my daughters and they totally fell in love with it! When I read it to them at night they tell me not to stop; that’s how much they enjoyed it. I love how the book is a story of the mouse Geronimo Stilton and his family and friends going into time in history through a time machine and along the way young readers will also learn about history. I really like that as a parent!
In this volume we read and see the adventures of Geronimo Stilton and his friend and relative going back into time during the era of Christopher Columbus’ voyage in discovering America. The reason why they went to this time period is because one of Geronimo’s friend, Professor Von Volt discovered that the Pirate Cats were going back into that time period and the Pirate Cats are up to no good. Geronimo and company has to not only search for the Pirate Cats which is not easy since they are disguised as mouse but also to uncover their secret plot to change history and stop their attempt. It is a pretty fun read and I enjoyed how along the way in the book there’s also fact box about real history of what happened. This is a great reinforcement for my kids of what they learn about history of what I taught them. Yet it is also fun for the kids. Overall this work was clean for kids though at times it was a bit slapstick and silly with how Geronimo’s cousin Trap accidently hurt Geronimo. I recommend it.

[Dree · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ridiculous book. Geronimo and friends travel back in time to stop the Pirate Cats from going back in time and changing history.

This story focuses on Christopher Columbus' 1492 voyage. Aside from the fact that I think there are plenty of people who WOULD like to change that bit of history, this story makes the whole voyage look really easy (other than the pirate cats' plots to cause mutiny, of course). And when they get to the Bahamas, they and the natives throw a dance party on the beach! Yeah right.

My 7 year old was stumped on how the cats and the rats/mice were all the same size. And he announced it wasn't as good as the G.S. chapter books.

[Kristen · Rating 2 out of 5]

This presents a very shiny happy version of Columbus's first voyage to the Americas. Fans of Geronimo's books might like this, but I missed the cute humor you find in the chapter books. The art style is the same, but the font is more consistent here than in the chapter books. This book would be OK for fans of the series, or for very young kids looking for historical fiction.

Title of Book: The discovery of America.

Author of Book: Geronimo Stilton.

Name of Reviewer: Karla Sofia Salinas.

This book is about the discovery of America. In 1492 was discovered America by Christopher Columbus in his first they began to call of America.

I like this book because
This book is about it teaches us about our continent America. And in my opinion it is very interesting to know who discovered America. And its history of America



I give this book 5 stars.

[Dolly · Rating 3 out of 5]

We've read most of the Geronimo Stilton Graphic Novels 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 they include bits of history into the stories and we get to know a little more about life during those times. While the tale is not overly accurate, the small blurbs that accompany many of the pages are good sources of information. We enjoyed reading this book together and we will certainly read more of these stories as we find them at our library.

[Catherine · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think this book is really good, just like the fiction kinds, but this is in graphic novel. I recommend people to read this story, if they like Geronimo Stilton books, try reading the graphic novels. In graphic novels, there is always a mystery. Very, very, good stories!! :) There are the same characters in the graphic novel, same as the fiction books. So it won't be too confusing if you read Geronimo Stilton's fiction, not graphic novel. I hope you like it! Because i like it and so you should too!

My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars!!

[Jordan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was pretty good. I liked that the topic was educational, so are all the other books in the series. I also thought the book had good vocabulary in it and could be a new challenge for some kids. Through out the book there are little sections with facts that relate to the topic, so since this one was about Christopher Columbus there are a lot about him and Spain. While the book is educational, it's also kind of funny. Some of the characters are named after different foods, and the sound words in the book are kind of funny and weird.

[Kayla · Rating 4 out of 5]

Geronimo Stilton was one of my favorite series when I was a child. I saw this graphic novel at the library, and couldn't resist the urge to pick it up. Even though it's meant for a much younger audience, I still enjoyed it. I found that it brought back a lot of nostalgia. It was a cute graphic novel. If I can find more, I might continue the series.

It was great!.!.!. indians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok sorry. It was about indians. It was like a comic book. My favorite part was when Trap whacked Geronimo's face on accident.

You may know the story of chistopfer columbus. What if the story was with a mouse. the couragious litte mouse named geronimo stilton goes on the journy of chistopfer and set sail for america. I recimend this book for any one who jus wants to free read. A book that i just love to read.

[Beth Anne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read aloud to Emma and Will in two sittings. This graphic novel wasn't high literature, but it fit perfectly with our study of Columbus. It's silly, but filled with little historical tidbits along the way. I'll be looking for more of these to read aloud.

[Tracie Hall · Rating 2 out of 5]

Read this in digital format, which I don't recommend, at least not on a regular computer monitor--the text is too tiny and the usual screen enlargement function doesn't work. Otherwise, it was a cute cartoonish, obviously somewhat distorted, version of Columbus' trip to America.

Not really sure what the draw is for kids but overall it was only alright.

[Nic · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm rounding up to three stars because the art is fun, but this book wasn't for me. (Even aside from the whole "makes Christopher Columbus seem like a cool guy who didn't do a bunch of bad stuff" angle.) I know lots of kids love this series - it's popular at our library - and it's neat that the books include so much historical detail. (Even if, again, some of it might be a bit whitewashed.) I was just hoping I might like these books as much as I liked the Thea Stilton graphic novels, which are less edu-tainment and more regular entertainment. Oh well.

[Sam Zhou · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is by Geronimo Stilton. The book is talking about a mouse go to the pass by the machine. He pass to a harbor, the country is going to find the new island by the ship, but many people are afraid of it, so only him and a few people go. He is thirsty and hungry on the ship, see 2 times the
tsunami, and finally, he find the island and the people they never see live on the land too. Then he
Come back to the true by the machine again.

Read this book during a lecture and found it very well written and informative. Due to nostalgic reasons i decided to read this book and i gotta say its so age appropriate and still factually „correct“ that i do get why i liked these books as a kid!

[spirited.pages · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed the Geronimo Stilton books as a kid and had to read these. I obviously am older, but I still felt the joy I felt when I used to read them.

[Andrew · Rating 4 out of 5]

As the first in the series, it’s pacing is surprisingly good! And the historical fallouts are there, unlike some later in the series.

so cute.........

[Edward Davies · Rating 3 out of 5]

The boy seems to like the comic books, and I guess they are a little more educational than the standard books.
