00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:05.086
You're listening to the Daddy Daughter Bookworm sponsored by CareFresh Training Group, where we talk about children's books.
00:00:05.086 --> 00:00:14.962
Hello, bookworms.
00:00:14.962 --> 00:00:15.926
My name is Lucy.
00:00:16.448 --> 00:00:22.527
And I'm Alex, and today we're going to be reviewing another book, aren't we?
00:00:22.948 --> 00:00:23.609
Yes, we are.
00:00:23.850 --> 00:00:24.650
What's the name of it?
00:00:25.492 --> 00:00:36.603
My name is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton.
00:00:36.603 --> 00:00:36.905
What we're?
00:00:37.889 --> 00:00:40.600
going to learn is about a mouse that runs a printing press.
00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:49.281
Okay, so why don't you tell us who wrote the book?
00:00:49.281 --> 00:00:51.627
On the cover it says the book is written by g stilton, which is the main character.
00:00:51.627 --> 00:01:00.826
We found out from the internet research that g that g stilton, is the author's pet name really, I don't think we've ever reviewed a book that's had a pen name.
00:01:01.328 --> 00:01:02.308
What does that mean?
00:01:04.152 --> 00:01:07.156
The author doesn't put their own name on the book.
00:01:07.156 --> 00:01:08.825
They choose a different name.
00:01:08.825 --> 00:01:14.393
This author's real name is Elisabetta Maria Dami.
00:01:14.393 --> 00:01:22.090
She is an Italian children's book author, so this book has been translated from Italian.
00:01:22.802 --> 00:01:24.588
Really that's pretty amazing.
00:01:24.588 --> 00:01:27.328
And who's the illustrator?
00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:35.590
The illustrator is Larry Keyes and Matt Wolfe, and also the publisher is Scholastic out of New York City.
00:01:36.322 --> 00:01:38.189
They do a lot of the books that we read, don't they?
00:01:38.552 --> 00:01:38.933
Mm-hmm.
00:01:39.718 --> 00:01:42.268
All right, so what's the genre?
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:48.153
This is a chapter book geared towards older elementary kids.
00:01:48.153 --> 00:01:55.733
It has very engaging illustrations and interesting characters and eye-catching fonts.
00:01:55.733 --> 00:02:02.983
Important words in the story are in different colors and shapes and the fonts.
00:02:02.983 --> 00:02:10.707
For example, when you're writing the word paw prints, there are a bunch of letters inside little paw prints.
00:02:11.588 --> 00:02:14.514
Awesome when you look at the cover.
00:02:14.514 --> 00:02:20.667
Of the name is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton.
00:02:20.667 --> 00:02:22.449
What'd you notice?
00:02:23.450 --> 00:02:30.823
I noticed that Geronimo had slipped on a banana peel and Pinky is peeking in the room from a door.
00:02:31.343 --> 00:02:32.004
Who's Pinky?
00:02:33.467 --> 00:02:39.335
She's Geronimo's assistant Assistant.
00:02:39.915 --> 00:02:40.336
Okay.
00:02:40.336 --> 00:02:43.326
Well we'll get into it.
00:02:43.326 --> 00:02:44.248
We'll get into it later.
00:02:44.248 --> 00:02:44.850
Yeah, we will.
00:02:44.850 --> 00:02:47.448
So is there a whole series of Geronimo.
00:02:47.980 --> 00:02:49.206
Oh, there certainly is.
00:02:49.206 --> 00:02:53.251
I counted over 100 Geronimo books in the library.
00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:54.763
That's a lot of books.
00:02:55.084 --> 00:02:55.425
Yeah.
00:02:55.625 --> 00:02:56.366
Do you want to read them all?
00:02:56.366 --> 00:02:58.772
Yeah, okay.
00:02:59.461 --> 00:03:10.411
So Dad Geronimo is a mouse who works for a newspaper called the Rodents Gazette, and the whole series is filled with mouse references.
00:03:10.411 --> 00:03:13.247
And do you know what goes with that?
00:03:14.693 --> 00:03:15.637
What goes with that?
00:03:15.637 --> 00:03:17.943
Erga burger cheese.
00:03:17.943 --> 00:03:19.598
Erga burger cheese.
00:03:19.598 --> 00:03:21.310
I forgot about erga burger cheese.
00:03:21.610 --> 00:03:28.449
And if you guys have been listening to the Mouse Called Mika episode, then you will know where that's from.
00:03:28.569 --> 00:03:29.554
Erga burger cheese.
00:03:29.875 --> 00:03:30.778
Erga burger cheese.
00:03:31.370 --> 00:03:35.461
So we also have a character named Pinky Pick.
00:03:35.461 --> 00:03:39.658
Pinky and Geronimo have very different character traits.
00:03:39.658 --> 00:03:41.771
Why don't you tell us a little bit about them?
00:03:42.112 --> 00:03:53.984
Geronimo likes classical music, good books, plain clothes, plain pizza and although he likes adventure, he really wants his life to be peaceful and calm.
00:03:53.984 --> 00:03:57.096
Pinky likes rock music.
00:03:57.096 --> 00:03:59.222
She doesn't like things plain.
00:03:59.222 --> 00:04:00.962
She likes funky things.
00:04:00.962 --> 00:04:14.182
For example, she wears enormous pink high-top sneakers with see-through platforms, Sneakers with fish swimming around.
00:04:14.182 --> 00:04:21.244
She likes really bright colors and has a cat fur covered diary.
00:04:21.244 --> 00:04:25.221
She likes excitement and lots of change.
00:04:25.750 --> 00:04:26.795
Well, that's awesome.
00:04:26.795 --> 00:04:33.142
So Geronimo and Pinky, although they're opposites, have one goal in common.
00:04:33.142 --> 00:04:36.639
Why don't you tell me what they are trying to accomplish?
00:04:37.189 --> 00:04:40.821
They're trying to get an interview with a famous rock star.
00:04:40.821 --> 00:04:48.839
I get a feeling that this mouse is a version of someone famous, like in the baseball book we read.
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:53.517
Let me show you his picture, then tell me his name.
00:04:54.591 --> 00:04:58.041
Well, I'm looking at it and His name is Fuzzy Fuzzborn.
00:04:58.041 --> 00:04:59.422
His name is Fuzzy Fuzzborn.
00:04:59.422 --> 00:05:00.110
His name is Fuzzy Fuzzborn.
00:05:00.110 --> 00:05:04.401
He kind of looks a little like Ozzy Osbourne.
00:05:04.401 --> 00:05:13.697
I don't know, but he, even though Ozzy yeah, kind of looks like Ozzy Osbourne, I could tell with the bat shirt.
00:05:13.697 --> 00:05:18.701
So Pinky has some good ideas about making money with the Rodin Gazette.
00:05:18.701 --> 00:05:21.858
What was one of those that impressed you?
00:05:23.091 --> 00:05:32.120
She wanted to start a magazine called Fur Kids Only, and she came up with ideas for merch, like a G-scented diary.
00:05:32.442 --> 00:05:40.120
Oh my gosh, do you have any personal connection with this book, and what does the book remind you of, if anything?
00:05:41.750 --> 00:05:49.310
I don't really have any personal connection, but there was a character that reminds me of a real life person.
00:05:49.310 --> 00:05:56.024
Captain Nelson from the book has so many awards and medals on his uniform.
00:05:56.024 --> 00:05:57.413
This reminds me of Clara Burton.
00:05:57.413 --> 00:05:59.223
I read her biography recently and she has so many awards and medals on his uniform.
00:05:59.223 --> 00:05:59.867
This reminds me of Clara Barton.
00:05:59.867 --> 00:06:03.137
I read her biography recently and she has so many awards and medals.
00:06:03.819 --> 00:06:05.182
That's pretty cool.
00:06:05.182 --> 00:06:09.093
And you did something else with Clara Barton, didn't you?
00:06:09.093 --> 00:06:10.396
Yep, what'd you do?
00:06:10.918 --> 00:06:12.843
I was her for the wax museum.
00:06:13.230 --> 00:06:18.081
Exactly so how would you recommend this book to anyone?
00:06:19.062 --> 00:06:19.444
I would.
00:06:19.444 --> 00:06:26.444
I would recommend this book for third through fifth graders, as well as anyone who likes graphic novels.
00:06:27.350 --> 00:06:35.678
So it was a fun book, yep, and you think you might want to read some of the other adventures.
00:06:35.678 --> 00:06:39.398
Yes, okay, and she's been doing this for a long time.
00:06:39.398 --> 00:06:45.911
I think she's in her 70s, or something like that, so she's been writing hundreds of books, hasn't she?
00:06:46.273 --> 00:06:46.593
Yes.
00:06:47.014 --> 00:06:48.680
I think that's pretty amazing.
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:55.295
So, lucy, why don't you tell the listeners how they can get the book if they want to buy it?
00:06:55.755 --> 00:07:02.036
They can go to their local children's bookstore or they can go to our show notes, where we have a link.

You can maybe go to the library and maybe get it for free.
00:07:09.997 --> 00:07:17.755

But before we end our show, we had some pretty interesting news this last week, and do you remember what it is?
00:07:44.410 --> 00:07:51.783
So one of our other podcast episodes, act got an award.
00:07:52.951 --> 00:08:03.584
It was a communicator award for arts and Culture, and so we are an award-winning podcast.
00:08:03.584 --> 00:08:05.331
What do you have to say about that, lucy?
00:08:05.833 --> 00:08:09.500
That's amazing and I'm very excited about it.
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.334
