I can easily see why these would appeal to kids, but as an adult reading them, I was bothered by some of the stereotypes being perpetuated. The entire plot hinges on a quest for mint to make a female mouse well enough to cook, which just really bothered me. There were other ways to get to the same quest without resorting to lazy gender stereotypes.

And, yeah, I realize I just over-analyzed a Geronimo Stilton book. ( )

Geronimo Stilton fans will be thrilled with this new book and series! Funny, bright and colorful illustrations. Will Geronimo be saved from the dragons as he tries to find a cure for the sick cook?
From the cover: Who is Geronimo Stiltonord?
He is a mouseking -- the Geronimo Stilton of the ancient far north! He lives with his brawny and brave clan in the village of Mouseborg. From sailing frozen waters to facing fiery dragons, every day is an adventure for the micekings! ( )
