 |  Category: Action, Funny, Mystery, scary  | Leave a Comment

There’s been a brutal murder on the ranch, and it’s up to Hank the Cowdog, Head of Ranch security, to find out what’s going on. I’ve read alot of these books and I’m amazed that the writer & illustrator have written more than 50 of these books. That’s cool.

The author’s name is John Erickson & the illustrator’s name is  Gerald Holmes. The book was 120 pages long, and I loved it.

This is the first book in the series that I read and it was funny the author & illustrator is Geronimo Stilton. Geronimo is off on another whisker licking adventure. This time Geronimo is off to Egypt to see the cheese pyramid, get scared to death by riding with the worst drivers in the world & having to ride on the world’s angriest camel. This whole trip proves to be a big adventure for Geronimo, but if you know him, he’ll never quit!!

This book is a novel in cartoon form, written & illustrated by Jeff Kinney. This book is about a wimpy kid named Greg Heffley. He is a wimpy kid because he is a week kid. The secondary characters in this book are Rodrick, Manny, Rowley, Frank Mom, Dad and Bob.

I like this book becas it’s super funny. I feel like him because I am surrounded by morons too!! This book has a lot of cartoony pictures, and all of them make me laugh. I can’t wait until I read the next 3 books in the Wimpy Kid series; Rodrick Rules, The Last Straw and the Do It Yourself book.

This book is about Hank the cowdog and his girlfriend Beulah the collie, and how Plato the bird dog tries to get the great white quail but when he goes missing it’s hank’s responsibility to get him back. In this new action packed book Hank needs to quit worrying about looking for Plato & start worrying about saving his butt!! This isn’t the best Hank book I’ve read but if you like funny stories check it out.
