: Each Geronimo Stilton book is fast-paced, with lively full color art and a unique format kids 7-10 will love. I, Geronimo Stilton, was off to the wildest part of Brazil the Amazon jungle. I ended up on a hunt for an rare crystal treasure, which was stolen from a native tribe in the heart of the forest. I'd encounter alligators, snakes, piranhas and other dangers on my way. Holey cheese! What an adventure.
: Running away from a greedy Chacha and Chachi, Arif lands up in . . . the Andamans! Rich with detail and humour, this adventure story is also about the Jarawa people who are threatened by forces of 'development'. For 10 years and above.
: Tara wants to go to an amusement park for her holidays. But her parents are being difficult. Will her Deadly Tantrum work or will they drag her off on a wild vacation? Then Tara gets sent a mysterious box, and some unlikely – and unwelcome – guests show up! A lesson in ‘wild’ manners? Or just a bad dream? Join Tara and her friends in this charmingly illustrated, roller-coaster-ride of a story
: In this delightful book, kids are encouraged to ponder shapes they may never have considered before: "Just think about the shape of beans and flowers and mice and big machines!" Dr. Seuss's illustrations are in silhouette (for the purpose of accenting the outlines of figures), but are nonetheless up to par with his usual wacky, amusing style. Soaring well beyond the mundane arena of circles, triangles, and squares, here we are challenged to consider "the shape of camels ? the shape of bees and the wonderful shapes of back door keys!" Kids will love the silly rhymes and funny pictures, and parents will appreciate this original take on the largely untapped world of shapes.

But somehow, my peaceful trip turned into a crazy treasure hunt in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota with the entire Stilton clan in tow! Our journey even included a hot-air balloon ride to Mount Rushmore. Holey cheese! This was one adventure I'd truly remember.
