Down And Out Down Under

This book is about a mouse named Geronimo Stilton going with two other mice named Petunia and Wolfgang. The first one Geronimo secretly has a crush on and she also has a crush on him but neither has said anything about it to the other. Anyway they go to Australia together. They also got Geronimo to wear contact lenses and jeans for the trip. While there they go surfing, swim with Dolphins, go to see Uluru previously known as Ayers Rock, and meet two Aborigines named Wangara and Wani. Then they go in a the Australian forest where Geronimo steps on a prickly Echidna, is kicked by a Red Kangaroo, is pecked on the head by a Emu, and almost bitten by a poisonous snake. They also see wild pumpkins, Macadamias,and Honeycombs. Then they listen to a story. Then Geronimo is left alone. While left alone he hears a Kookaburra , picks a wild pumpkin to eat along with some nuts and fruit, grabs a honeycomb and is chased by bees, and eats Damper which is a Australian Bush Bread. Then he finds his friends, exchanges a fountain pen from his Grandpa for a didgeridoo which was given to Wangara by his grandpa.It is a Australian instrument. Finally they go to the Paws Farm before going home. Altogether I thought this book was great and hope you enjoy it to. Bfore I go I would recommend it for ages 8-11. Goodbye and Happy Reading.
