It is not necessary to go in order, each book is its own stand-alone story, and the main characters are properly reintroduced each time. So, you can choose the books based on your child's current interest, the season, or a unit study topic.

My grandfather William Shortpaws -- also known as Cheap Mouse Willy -- was back at The Rodent's Gazette, and he was determined to torture me. He wanted to publish a guide book to Ratzikistan, the Siberia of Mouse Island. And he ordered *me* to go there to write it! But as you know, dear reader,

He arranged for me to appear on a TV quiz show. If I won, the Gazette was safe. But if I lost -- SQUEAK! -- I had to give up my tail!
My sister had come up with a new way to torment me. She'd combined my two least favorite things - travel and ghosts! Thea had heard rumors of a haunted pirate treasure buried on a desert island. And before I could say "avast ye scurvy rats," she'd dragged me into her treasure hunt!

If you've ever wondered how Pinky came to work for me at The Rodent's Gazette, this is the book for you! It's a looooong story... and one that's full of adventure, laughs, and of course, like all of my books, lots of embarrassing moments for yours truly!
Ah, there's nothing like a relaxing vacation on the beach! I would spread out by the crystal-clear water with a good book. What more could a mouse want? At least, that was the plan. But somehow, my vacations never seem to go according to plan. Instead of a beautiful seaside resort, I found myself in a fleabag hotel that was falling down around my ears! Oh, would I ever be able to relax and enjoy my vacation
What I love about the books besides the fact that they are intriguing to kids and build reading fluency and vocabulary skills is that they have great illustrations.
They show actual artifacts, clothing, and people throughout history as well as current places to naturally build geography skills through familiarity.
The series is humorous and contains lots of great facts presented in an entertaining way, he definitely has earned a portrait of his own.
The majority of the bricks needed for this craft, or a very close substitute can be found in the LEGO Classic Large Creative Brick Box.

Geronimo Stilton LEGO Tutorial
The cone we used for the nose is not in the basic brick boxes, but you may have it in your stash, if not there are other tapered bricks that can give you a similar look.
I highly recommend that even if your child has a lot of LEGO bricks already that you purchase one or two of these and keep them separate from all other bricks to use for builds like this.
They are also really fun for challenges and can be used during reading aloud to keep hands busy.
You will need:
- 2 LEGO Eyes
- 1 single brown round stud
- 2 Pink 1×2 LEGO Bricks
- 9 Tan 2×2 LEGO Bricks
- 6 Tan 1×2 LEGO Bricks
- 2 Tan Studs (single)
- 3 Red 2×2 LEGO Bricks
- 6 White 1×2 LEGO Bricks
- 10 Green 2×2 LEGO Bricks
- 2 Green 1×2 LEGO Slope Bricks
- Small baseplate
First, place your 9 tan 2×2 LEGO bricks in the center of a small baseplate to form a square, any plate 16×16 and larger will work great.
Place your 3 red 2×2 bricks right down the center right to the bottom edge.
Now put the white 1×2’s down either side of the red to form his shirt and tie.
Place three 2×2 green bricks down either side and then 2 of the 2×2 green bricks outside of that, topping them with a sloped brick to create the appearance of shoulders/arms.
If you don’t have those sloped pieces, no worries, just use another couple 2×2 bricks.
Starting at each of the top corners of the head make ears by placing your 3 tan 1×2 bricks and the single 1×1 tan brick in a “circle”
Fill in with a pink 1×2 brick.
Finally place a brown round single stud on top of a cone or other sloped piece and press in the center of the face and add your eyes.
What a handsome mouse he is!
