I'm Too Fond of My Fur (Geronimo Stilton)

Summary: Great New Discovery
Review: I just bought this book for my son's 8th birthday. He's a fairly average reader so we're going through it together, and we both just love the story and characters, who are of varying ages and personalities. The book captures your attention right off with the common problem of being taken in by a TV commercial.

We love the varying type styles, illustrations and fun descriptions. We just popped onto amazon.com to learn more, and are excited to see so many titles to collect. The reading level is about age 9 or so, but the interest range is definitely at least 7-11. Also, my son is just learning about dialogue, and this story is great for reinforcing that, as well as increasing his reading vocabulary. It may not be fine literature, but it's fun and fresh and full of inoffensive charm, which is harder to come by for boys of this age than for girls.
