Attack of the Bandit Cats by Geronimo Stilton

After Mouse City's phone book is published with many mistakes Geronimo's best bet is to get out of town as quickly as possible. He takes a trip to the legendary island covered in silver. But shortly after arriving Geronimo and his family members are attacked by a ship of cats! Will they make it out with their lives or become dinner?













Teachers: Here are some resources to help you teach ..
Geronimo Stilton Since this is a book in a series this website maybe helpful if you need to take a look at the Stilton family tree or many other things.
Complete List of Series Here is a complete list of all the books in the series by Geronimo Stilton. If a student likes this one you may want to suggest others.


Teaching Suggestions:
1. Before Reading Before reading it may be helpful to go over the Stilton family tree and other information since this is a book in a series and all the children may not be familiar with it. 
2. During Reading While reading the students should write down the silly words that have been altered and replace them with the right words. Then as a class or in pairs discuss why the author decided to change the words and which way they liked it better.
3. After Reading Have the students pick another animal and ask them to write several clever sentences using their animal.
