Geronimo Stilton questions by chapter

We know the book, its characters, setting and story, but not what happens in each chapter. So every question is written for this book, and any of them works wherever your reader has just stopped. One question per chapter, across all 30 chapters, and every one is editable before you print. The example answers under 3 of the chapters are the ones printed at the front of the booklet.

  1. Chapter 1

    So far, what problem or goal is Geronimo Stilton dealing with, and what makes it important to him?

  2. Chapter 2

    What have you learned about Geronimo's personality in this chapter? Use one detail from the chapter to support your answer.

  3. Chapter 3

    How does the setting, such as New Mouse City, Mouse Island, or another place Geronimo visits, affect what happens in this chapter?

  4. Chapter 4

    Which character has the biggest effect on Geronimo in this chapter, and how does that character influence his choices?

  5. Chapter 5

    What is one word or phrase from this chapter that stood out to you? What do you think it means, and why did the author choose it?

    Example answer: One word or phrase that stood out to me was one that sounded funny and dramatic. I think the author chose it because Geronimo Stilton books are supposed to be silly as well as adventurous. The word helped me understand the mood of the scene. It also made the writing more interesting than a plain sentence would have been.

  6. Chapter 6

    How does the chapter use humor? Describe a funny moment, silly description, or playful word choice and explain why it made you smile.

  7. Chapter 7

    What is Geronimo worried about in this chapter, and how does he try to handle that worry?

  8. Chapter 8

    What new information did you learn in this chapter that helps you understand the mystery, adventure, or problem better?

  9. Chapter 9

    How do Geronimo's family or friends, such as Thea, Trap, or Benjamin, help or challenge him in this part of the story?

  10. Chapter 10

    What do you predict Geronimo will do next, and what clues from the chapter make you think that?

  11. Chapter 11

    Describe a choice Geronimo makes in this chapter. Was it a brave, careful, funny, or surprising choice? Explain your thinking.

  12. Chapter 12

    What lesson about teamwork, courage, honesty, or curiosity seems to be growing in the story so far?

  13. Chapter 13

    How do the special fonts, pictures, or page designs help you understand the action or feelings in this chapter?

    Example answer: The special fonts help me notice what is important or exciting. When words look bigger, twisty, or different, I can almost hear the character saying them with a strong feeling. The pictures also make the chapter feel more fun and fast. They help me understand Geronimo's nervous or surprised feelings without the author having to explain every detail.

  14. Chapter 14

    What question do you have after reading this chapter, and why do you hope the story answers it?

  15. Chapter 15

    Which scene in this chapter was easiest for you to picture in your mind? Describe it using details from the text.

  17. Chapter 17

    What is one important detail from this chapter that you think readers should remember for later? Explain why it seems important.

  18. Chapter 18

    How does this chapter show the difference between Geronimo and another character? Compare their actions or attitudes.

  19. Chapter 19

    What feeling did this chapter give you as a reader: excitement, worry, curiosity, amusement, or something else? Explain what caused that feeling.

  20. Chapter 20

    If you could give Geronimo advice at this point in the story, what would you tell him and why?

    Example answer: I would tell Geronimo to stay calm and think before he acts. He often gets nervous when an adventure becomes confusing or dangerous, but he is also smart and kind. If he pays attention to clues and listens to people who care about him, he can make a better choice. I would also remind him that being brave does not mean never being scared.
