Karate Mouse (Geronimo Stilton #40) Kindle Edition

I am not usually into reading and reviewing children’s books, but the Scholastic Mouse City series provide a unique approach which I find interesting. They combine good story telling with educational lessons along with great illustrations. This is the reason they have become so popular with young readers.This book (The Karate Mouse by Geronimo Stilton) focuses on the learning of Karate and surprisingly, has presented the topic in a clear, humorous and educational way. Even though it focuses on our hero (Geronimo Stilton) learning karate in order to enter a world tournament, the way it presents the material is very accurate. As a long-time karate teacher myself, I was impressed with the way this 108 page book explained some of the basic principles and techniques of Karate-Do. I think using this book along with actual training under a Black Belt Karate Instructor a student will make good progress. This text explains the basic curriculum of karate, the importance of etiquette and even how to count to ten in Japanese.I would recommend this book to young children whether or not they are training in karate because the material is presented in a clear, entertaining and educational way. A fun to read book for children.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Martial Art Myths).

It was FABUMOUSE!! It was very funny and entertaining!! Its a great book for kids. I loved it so much I've read it 100 times( OK, maybe not 100 times, but you get the point). I definitelyrecommand it to other kids. One day, Geronimo Stilton is taken on a plane. When he lands, he finds out he is competing in the karate CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Will Geronimo be able to learn enough karate to survive, or will he get crushed to smithereens by other mice???????!!!!!! Please read the book. Its AWESOME!!!

My kids eat them up. Since they discovered this series and the fact that on the kindle no password is required when a new book is purchased I’m racking up big charges on my credit card! But it’s well spent money! The 9-year old reads a book in two days and the 7-year old takes a bit longer. We are a multi-language family living in Italy so these books are great. We also have them on audible format for road trips. interestingly the original books are in Italian, we have some also in German but the English translations are the best! So many cat and mouse word plays, famous becomes famouse etc. All along the content is perfect, fun and “clean” and also touching on interesting subjects in history and geography and science. Can’t recommend them enough.

I ordered this for my 7 year old. He is in Karate so we have been enjoying some books and this is a good little book for him.

Although the Dragon Fantasy Series are by far the best adventures of Geronimo's, Karate Mouse is really up there at the top, too. The Geronimo books were the first books I read by myself and sometimes the fonts that get added in to be silly or serious or whatever (fonts are what my mom calls them) make it hard to read if you aren't used to it, but you get over if fast. If you are just getting serious about reading, or want a quick story in between longer ones..(.that is what I did with Karate Mouse.)...than Geronimo Stilton's your man...I mean mouse.Karate Mouse was full of fun, action and adventure, just like the rest. Mom wants to add it's a great buy and keeps me busy while she's shopping...Thanks, Tieran and Mom

I’ve tried lots of ways to help my older students with reading. I normally am in my PREK room but I run the aftercare reading program as well. I’ve got all my students reading these books because they are great social-emotional and really help them with figuring words out while reading which boosts their confidence so much!!

Entertaining, Educational, and wildly imaginative! My 7-year old loves the series and saves his allowance to buy the books. His older brother still likes them too. Recommend up to age 9 or 10. I like the storyline because Geronimo brings his family on his adventures and interacts with them in a believable way. He has relatives that are highly annoying, but he is never rude to them.

My 6 yr.old grandson who learns karate read this aloud with me. With all the violent use of karate on TV, the emphasis on the respectful philosophy of karate in The Karate Mouse and the support that the competitors gave each other pleased me. This book was clever and enjoyable and taught something about cooperation and respect.

The quality of paper was good, delivery was fast.

Ottimo acquisto...ho deciso di ordinarlo per fare un integrazione per i compiti di inglese di mio figlio ..ero titubante nella acquisto dell usato ..ma invece lo ho trovato perfetto anzi non si direbbe usato dalla aspetto anzi nuovo ..sono molto soddisfatta

My son, 5.5 years is definitely enjoying these books. A bit advanced reading perhaps for 5 years, but good nighttime reading together.

Livro muito bom, com muitas imagens e texto que se complementam facilitando a aprendizagem.Recomendo para quem está no nível intermediário do inglês.

All the Geronimo Stilton books are my daughter's favourites. She is 6 and she absolutely loves the mystery and adventure books, and the Geronimo Stilton series is just perfect for her. They are truly ingenious, with good humour, and are also very educative, each focused on some topic of everyday life or specific area of knowledge. We already have 13 of them and now she is expecting another lot purchased for Christmas. I wouldn't call them a serious literature but for a kid they just tick all the boxes.
