Oh, would I ever be able to relax and enjoy my vacation

Now, look at some of the fun reasons both parents and children love the series.

WHY IS GERONIMO STILTON SO POPULAR

Look at these facts about the book series.

  • The books have a visual flair both with text and pictures. For example, some text is larger than the other and color coded. It brings attention to certain words to help young readers understand the tone. Basically, the words are different colors, fonts, and sizes.
  • Also, Geronimo Stilton is a mouse and the editor and publisher of the fictional newspaper The Rodent’s Gazette in New Mouse City on Mouse Island. However, he is very human to children.
  • Geronimo is always going on an adventure and is a scaredy mouse. He is curious, funny, and cautious. Because he is not very brave, children of all ages love his charming personality.
  • Many of the books explore geographical areas and historical events, ancient civilizations, and time travel. It’s a fun blend of stepping back in time, adventure and education. Children read about history and geography in a natural and fun way much like a living book.
  • And of course being a mouse, he loves his cheese. He especially loves Mozarella and Swiss. We did a charcuterie board one time as we were reading.
  • Because there is educational information packed into the stories, they pair nicely with our geography and history unit studies.
  • I wouldn’t really call Geronimo a superhero. He is thoughtful and kind. Because he is cowardly but overcomes his fear and helps others, his character can make a great model for kids. He models perseverance and curiosity.
  • Too, it appeals to many cultures because of the universal theme of friendship and courage.

In Geronimo Stilton Kingdom of Fantasy Book 15 he comes across all sorts of fantastical creatures. Also, look at my page Geronimo Stilton Books for more great activities.

For example, our brave hero comes across fairies and I thought this would be the perfect time to create a small magical fairy world in a teacup.

Geronimo goes on a mission to save the Queen of Imagination who has been injured by an evil wizard and is going to turn into lead soon.

How To Make A Fairy Garden Inspired By Geronimo Stilton Kingdom Of Fantasy Book 15

Along the way he meets fairies, dragons, ogres and more, creating a fun imaginative story line.

We are going to recreate a little bit of this in a miniature fairy world, just small enough to fit in a teacup.

I had a few teacups on hand and made a quick trip to Dollar Tree to pick up the other supplies needed.

I also found saucers and oversized soup cups that you could use in place of delicate teacups.

How To Make A Fairy Garden Inspired By Geronimo Stilton Kingdom Of Fantasy Book 15

What is fantasy? A fantasy book is set in an imaginary world and features elements like supernatural creatures- fairies, dragons, hobbits, etc…that do not exist.

Fantasy is a fun genre that triggers the creative parts of your child’s brain.

Also, it helps develop a positive worldview as your child reads about good overcoming evil and gives them a chance to escape into a make believe world for just a little while.

Geronimo Stilton’s books are wonderful for boys or girls from 7-10 years old and may still appeal to those a little younger or older.

They are usually full of rich history stories and to keep it engaging they include lots of colorful illustrations and varied text.

Get your hands on a copy of Geronimo Stilton’s Kingdom of Fantasy Book 15 and let’s begin our magical journey through reading and crafts.

Finally, look at how to make this craft to pair with the book Geronimo Stilton’s Kingdom of Fantasy Book 15.

They have tons of fairy garden accessories throughout spring and summer.

With the soft foam you will be able to do this with just a small kitchen knife.

The Giver: A Newbery Award Winner

Life in the community where Jonas lives is idyllic. Designated birth mothers produce new children, who are assigned to appropriate family units. Citizens are assigned their partners and their jobs. No one thinks to ask questions. Everyone obeys. Everyone is the same. Except Jonas.

Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. Gradually Jonas learns that power lies in feelings. But when his own power is put to the test—when he must try to save someone he loves—he may not be ready. Is it too soon? Or too late?

Told with deceptive simplicity, this is the provocative story of a boy who experiences something incredible and undertakes something impossible. In the telling it questions every value we have taken for granted and reexamines our most deeply held beliefs.
