Love this series of books. They are so much fun to read and I highly recommend them for the kid in your life.

This was another fun book in the Geronimo Stilton series and I enjoyed it very much. Geronimo is as always just the most lovable and awkward mouse. The story was as fun as always and I really enjoyed the addition of Egyptian mythology in the book.

I first came to know of Geronimo Stilton only when a book from the series was gifted to La Niña. It was the first book that she began to read on her own. Prior to that, she enjoyed reading but preferred to be read to, claiming that it left her free to exercise her imagination.
It was the formatting of this series, complete with words in different colours and fonts, text in various sizes, and numerous small illustrations scattered throughout the pages, intermingled with the text, that invited her to read for herself. She hasn’t stopped reading since.
Geronimo Stilton is the editor of The Rodent’s Gazette, a popular newspaper on Mouse Island. When his grandfather, William Shortpaws, a notorious cheapskate and the founder of the newspaper, decides to cut back on the expenses, Geronimo discovers that he is in for a most terrible time.
Grandfather William fires all the employees and orders Geronimo to do all the work, including writing, printing, and being general errand boy. Geronimo’s sister Thea is named the Page Three correspondent, while his cousin, Trap, who cannot hold a job, is appointed Grandfather’s personal cook. Geronimo’s nine-year-old nephew, Benjamin, is named Grandfather’s personal assistant.
The elderly mouse sends Geronimo off to Egypt to write a special report on the pyramids. But the flight and other arrangements that have been made are so cheap and dubious that the young hero wonders if he will ever return alive.
Instead of a seat belt, there is a piece of string. The windows are broken and passengers are urged to buy overpriced parachutes and lifebuoys. To make matters worse, when he wants to visit the washroom, he is given a bedpan, and the plane runs out of fuel in mid-flight.
Once he lands in Egypt, he discovers that Prof Alrat Spitfur has invented a new way to create energy using camel dung. The professor invites Geronimo to visit the pyramid of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, Cheops.
Geronimo will be kicked at and spat on before this adventure is over.

La Niña loved the book. She loves to draw and paint and was entranced by the colourful illustrations.
The characters have such evocative names as Sammy Slickpaw, Alrat Spitfur, ‘Crash’ Ratjack, Ted Simplesnout, Miss Sally Skinnyfur, Daniel E Deadfur etc, all guaranteed to amuse kids. The locations in the book are Mouse Everest, the Great Mousewood Forest.
The figures of speech and other expressions are all examples of regular expressions adapted to the mouse world.
Along the way, young kids get a not-quite-authentic (since the pharaohs are all mice) but still thoroughly entertaining lecture on Egyptian culture.

My mom got a copy of this book from Netgalley and gave it to me to read. I am 12 years old, and I have read a lot of Geronimo Stilton books. I started reading these books when I was about 9 and I still read them when I new one comes out. All of the books are good, and this on is too. Thank you

This book was hilarious! Since finishing it, I have already purchased two more Geronimo Stilton books to read to my kids.

I loved all the mayhem and adventure! Each time you think things are as bad as they can get, Grandfather William makes things worse. Or something happens that adds to Geronimo's...discomfort :) I loved the Egyptian professor and his invention with camel dung. So entertaining!

This is a series I will definitely be collecting for my kids (and myself!) What an author, that Geronimo! A very talented mouse :)

I always love Geronimo Stilton. And this book is no exception. I still hate his uncle, though.

As always, Geronimo Stilton's adventures are amusing and exciting for younger readers. Lots of fun vocabulary (love the large illustrated words!) and interesting facts along with Geronimo's shenanigans. Younger students will enjoy this book -- I highly recommend it!

Here is another delightful saga in the Geronimo Stilton series. Geronimo is so excited to see the Pyramids in Egypt but, of course, trouble ensues. He must leave the Gazette behind and the adventure begins.
The Geronimo Stilton series (alongside Thea Stilton, his sister) is one of the most popular series in my Media Center. The younger students can't wait for new additions to the collection and this latest will not disappoint.

This is a great story from the world of Geronimo Stilton. The characters are wonderful and the story is cute. I enjoy you learn something too within each book and this one is no different. It is perfect for a family story time too.

The series of Geronimo Stilton's adventures are a funny books, perfect for children and yet not boring for adults. There are a books that parents can enjoy while reading it to their child as a bedtime story.

"The curse of the cheese pyramid" tells the story about journey to Egypt organised for Geronimo by his grandfather William Shortpaws a.k.a Cheap Mouse Willy. And you can guess from his nickname, that his obsession with saving money is going to cause some troubles to Geronimo!

I like this series also for theirs great illustrations, hilarious plot twist and ability to sneak in some usuful informations about (like in this story) a facts from ancient history of Egypt.

"The curse of the cheese pyramid" is not one of the best Geronimo's adventures, buy it is still a funny story in which we can meet again Stilton family!

Please note that this re-release is a different version from the original. I no longer have a copy, but, I do remember that the last time this was released it had color illustrations rather than black and white. Now, it's still Geronimo Stilton and the kids still will probably love the books especially if they haven't read them before and don't know they had color illustrations. It seems like that has brought the retail price down a bit for this version which perhaps may be better for parents on a budget. If you are sentimental about the old ones though I would suggest buying one published previous to October 2017.

I received this as a Netgalley ebook, so I do not have the physical book in hand. I do wonder though if that change to black and white illustrations has allowed them to use the normal paperback paper instead of the glossy paper? While I do like the color illustrations, the glossy paper did come loose from the binding a bit faster. You might get a bit more life expectancy out of this version.

Thanks to NetGalley and Sweet Cherry Publishing for the ebook ARC of The Curse of The Cheese Pyramid by author Geronimo Stilton in exchange for an honest review.

This is book 2 of the Geronimo Stilton series. It introduces some of the main characters in the series.

My son read this book and he said it was very good and also that this book must have been rewritten because he had previously read the book. He said the pictures have changed though. This book is a mix of writing and pictures. He loves reading all of the Geronimo Stilton books. He has been reading them for a couple of years now, he was first introduced to them at the age of 8.

My rating a 4, My son's rating a 5. It's a quick read and while some of the book I wasn't a fan of (how mean everyone seemed to treat Geronimo or how short they were with him at times). I also realize that I'm not the target audience. My son has been a fan of Geronimo Stilton books for a couple of years now, but this is the first time I've read any of the books. I still buy him the books because he enjoys them and if he enjoys them and they make him want to read more i'm sold. He said it's funny and adventurous. My son loves anything Egyptian themed (pyramids, mummies, etc) so he was really excited about the theme of this book and that Geronimo would be traveling to Egypt. Overall, it is a good book for your readers because it does have illustrations, it's well written and easy for kids to read. It's funny and contains adventure so that's a plus and one major reason why i will continue purchasing this series for my children and other children we buy gifts for!

Warning: Super Duper 🧀 Cheesy 🧀 Review Alert!

I promise you're going to want to hit me over the head with something by the end of this review, most likely a massive block of 🧀 cheese 🧀. Don't say I didn't warn you!!

So, I've arrived in the 🧀 Stilton 🧀 universe fashionably late. First published in 2001 and now being rereleased, The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid is the second book in the Geronimo Stilton series.

This illustrated children's book is a 🧀 Blenda 🧀 adventure and humour. Including maps of New Mouse City, Mouse Island and The Rodent's Gazette, the illustrations and formatting are really 🧀 Gouda 🧀.

When Geronimo arrives at work one morning he discovers that the founder of The Rodent Gazette, his grandfather William Shortpaws (AKA Cheap Mouse Willy), has gone on a penny pinching bender and fired the employees and sold most of the furniture.

The family business is now going to be exclusively run by the family - Geronimo, cousin Trap, sister Thea, favourite nephew Benjamin, and Cheap Mouse Willy. Geronimo, previously the "big cheese", is understandably 🧀 Moody Blue 🧀 upon hearing this news. His mood doesn't improve when he finds out he's the one who 🧀 Goats 🧀 to do all the work now.

However, the 🧀 Explorateur 🧀 in him is excited when his grandfather tells him his assignment is to travel to Egypt and write a report on the pyramids. By the time Geronimo gets off the shaky flight he's feeling a bit 🧀 Off Kilter 🧀 but is happy to meet Professor Alrat Spitfur who has an invention to tell Geronimo about. The Professor takes Geronimo on a camel ride to 🧀 La Pyramide 🧀 where Geronimo experiences more than he expected.

With some interesting information about Ancient Egypt your mouselets are going to accidentally learn bits and pieces about the pyramids, mummification, Egyptian gods, hieroglyphics and the curse of Tutankhamen's tomb.

I enjoyed reading this book but given the age group this series is aimed at, I found the lack of resolution at the end to be off putting. Of course there were other books planned so I'm fine with there being a lead up to the next adventure but for the essential 'mystery' of this book being something for "another story" irritated me.

I also have a pet peeve with books that wind up saying something along the lines of, 'Someone involved in this story told me it would make a great story so I wrote a book about it, and guess what?! This book that you've almost finished reading is the book that I wrote about that story!'

If you were to start from scratch and get up to date with the 🧀 Abondance 🧀 of Geronimo Stilton books ... taking a deep breath ..l and the Geronimo Stilton Special Editions, Kingdom of Fantasy, Journey Through Time, Thea Stilton, Thea Stilton Special Editions, Creepella von Cacklefur ... another breath ... Cavemice, Spacemice, Micekings, Thea Stilton: Mouseford Academy, Geronimo Stilton Graphic Novels and Thea Stilton Graphic Novels, I have calculated that you could probably do it in ... brain rattling ... about two gazillion shakes of a mouse's tail. 🧀 Holey Cow! 🧀 And I thought The Baby-Sitters Club series had a lot of spinoffs!

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley (thank you so much to NetGalley and Sweet Cherry Publishing for the opportunity) in exchange for honest feedback.

While I apologise for my 🧀 cheesy 🧀 review (sort of), I did have a lot of fun reading all of the 🧀 PsycheDillic 🧀 names for cheese that exist. If you feel like an 🧀 Impromptu 🧀 lesson in cheese 🧀 Slices of Bliss 🧀 like I did, I recommend you check out cheese.com. They've got details of over 1831 varieties of cheese! If you visit, you'll be in a 🧀 Reverie 🧀. Okay, I'm stopping now. Promise! 😃

My daughter and I enjoy reading Geronimo Stilton books together. This is something we have been doing for a few years. When this one became available from Netgalley we jumped on it. This version was not in color as many are and perhaps that is part of the ARC experience. The story is adventurous and funny as always. His sister Thea is in this story, but her part is minimal.

3 stars.
This series is rather popular and I can see why. This is only the second book I have read about Geronimo Stilton and its rather enjoyable. I liked the humor and the storyline, it was a fun read.

My Thoughts:
Geronimo Stilton was one of my favorite series when I was a kid. I loved seeing all of Geronimo's adventures with his family, both in and out of New Mouse City. Recently, I had discovered that the series was still being published today. I wanted to give the newer books a chance to see if I got the wonderful feeling of nostalgia from it, and if I enjoyed it as much as I did when I was a kid. Therefore, I picked up Geronimo Stilton: Curse of the Cheese Pyramid. Unfortunately, I was incredibly disappointed.

It had been about 15 years since I had picked up a Geronimo Stilton book. I remember how much the books used to make me laugh. However, I found The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid to be incredibly boring. It didn't have much of a storyline at all. The book's plot was building up to one specific thing happening. When that thing "happened" it was very anti-climatic. I said "happened" because nothing actually happened at all. Nothing was resolved or advanced. It was just a waste of time to read. The only reason why I'm giving the book two stars is that the adorable illustrations did kind of bring back that nostalgic feeling that I loved. However, it wasn't enough to save the book.

The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid didn't meet my expectations at all. In fact, it might be one of the most disappointing books I've read this year. As much as I loved the original books when I was a child, the good memories I have of them might be better left in the past. Needless to say, I won't be continuing with this series.

I give Geronimo Stilton: The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid: 2/5.

I first read this book back when I was around eleven or twelve. This was when I was still in elementary school. I remember signing out many of the Geronimo Stilton books from the library that year and I adored them. I thought that Geronimo's job at the paper was cool and I was so interested in exploring the world someday.

Now this book is being re-released in October for a new generation.

I will say that yes, I am feeling nostalgic when I read this book. It was very cute and funny. I enjoyed the characters especially the ridiculous grandfather of Geronimo, who would give Scrooge a run for his money. Also, the mouse-related puns were adorably cute. I wanted to pick up this book for the nostalgia and I'm happy that I did.

This is a perfect book for middle-grade students. They will get a great story and also learn about ancient Egypt. I recommend it. I know that my younger self would be happy to know that there are still books coming out from this series.

The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid by Geronimo Stilton has 75 pages and was originally published in 2001 by Turtleback Books. This is a republication with updated artwork that is scheduled to be released in October 2017 by Sweet Cherry Publishing.

Thank you to NetGalley, Sweet Cherry Publishing and Geronimo Stilton for providing this eARC in exchange for a fair review.

The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid tells the story of Geronimo Stilton's voyage to Egypt. He is sent by his grandfather to do a newspaper story about his experience. 

This is a fun-filled, early chapter book with cute new illustrations. This book is silly and sure to keep young readers entertained as they learn about Egyptian culture. Written in easy-to-read language with quirky characters and hilarious shenanigans, The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid is sure to be a hit with littles.

Recommended for readers of early chapter books.
