This graphic novel for early readers features a family of mice and their chief enemies, pirate cats. In this story, the mice visit Leonardo DaVinci in France in order to save the Mona Lisa from the pirate cats. The story is a little strange and the mystery very obvious but the children enjoyed the adventure. The pictures are a little cartoonish but it's fun to look for Leonardo DaVinci's inventions in the background. The illustrations also contain fact bubbles that explain the history behind the story. I appreciated that a lot. I actually learned some things about Leonardo DaVinci myself.

[Arianna Massardi]

In questo testo di narrativa in versione fumetto il caro Geronimo si imbatte in un viaggio nel tempo che ci catapulta nel rinascimento durante il quale tre malefici gatti vogliono rapire Leonardo da Vinci.
Non fatevi ingannare dal titolo in quanto non parla esattamente della Gioconda.
In ogni caso questo autore non si smentisce mai ed è sempre in grado di inventare storie che sappiano stuzzicare l'interesse dei lettori.
5 stelle.
Abbastanza complesso da leggere dati i salti temporali.

My three kids and I enjoyed this work.

Хто сказав, що історія - це нудно?
⠀
Це ви просто не читали крутезну серію коміксів від Джеронімо Стілтона!
⠀
📚«Хто викрав «Мону Лізу» від видавництва Ірбіс - це шостий комікс про мишачу сім‘ю Стілтона, що рятує історію від котів-піратів!
⠀
Світ коміксу поділено на країну Мишанію - оселю мишей та Котячий острів - місце, де панують коти, що постійно намагаються щось втворити😅 А миші ломають всі їхні плани!
⠀
Цього разу Стілтони відправляться у Францію 16 століття, щоб захистити самого Леонардо да Вінчі! Бо коти вирішили викрасти його для своїх недобрих цілей.
⠀
Ненав‘язливо та з гумором читач дізнається основну інформацію про те, хто такий Леонардо, якими були його винаходи (ви знали, що він винайшов перший велосипед? Ага, за 300 років до Карла фон Дрейза, якого вважають офіційним винахідником велосипеда) та де він жив останні роки свого життя.
⠀
Тому якщо ваша дитина не хоче читати підручник історіі, дайте їй/йому цей комікс😉 Маю підозру, що він зможе пробудити цікавість)
⠀
Вік: 8 - 12 років, але я і сама отримала купу цікавих фактів, про які не чула/не читала раніше.

Чудовий варіант для читання дітям або самими дітьми, особливо, коли намагаєтесь відірвати їх від мультика! Комікс з і сторичними фактами в дуже ненав'язливій формі збагатить вас цікавою та корисною інформаціює. Ми читали в укр. перекладі від Ірбіс Комікс

[Mavis Ros]

As an artist, I highly recommend this to artists as well.

[Water Viper]

I love that this is a mystery and that it's educational

[Lara]

Had done this as an audiobook from the library. Got about half way through. Readers voice was irritating and was scratched so forewent the second half of the book.

[Lisa]

This is another fun story in the Geronimo Stilton Graphic Novels and our girls really love them. They are a bit of a pain to read aloud, but once you get into them, the plot moves quickly. We liked this tale about Leonardo da Vinci and his paintings and inventions as well as Francis I, his patron. With the extra blurbs of information within the story, we learned a little about Renaissance history, too. We are looking forward to reading the next book, Dinosaurs in Action!

[Jaca]

I think the book was a great because it was about Geronimo Stilton and his friends with the Mona lisa and it was the "Pirate Cats" and that they saved the painter from the "Pirate Cats". But the thing is that Tersilla was Thea Stiliton in a mask and that Geronimo Stilton and his friends got the painting back and the painter which was the " Pirate Cats" master\teacher but why would they kidnap there own teacher and not the person who did the painting. And the book is called "Geronimo Stilton who stole the mona lisa?" by Geronimo Stilton.

[Duane]

Fans of Geronimo Stilton will really enjoy reading the graphic novel version. A nice book to show reluctant readers.

[Nanette]

Disclaimer: This series is another that I have translated, so once again, I'm prejudiced in favor...

Nonetheless, I have to admit that I think the Stilton graphic novels are cute and clever!

[Payton]

They have to stop the pirate cats from getting the Mona Lisa painting and Thea is fake,but a pirate cat.

[Sandy]

Nope, I guess I don't like graphic novels.

[Lina Hadjadj]
