Overview

Move over, Eloise and Olivia. Make room for SkippyjonJones, a Siamese kittenboy who can't resign himself to being an ordinary cat. Having a time-out in his room, he resorts to his imagination. Taking on the superhero persona of the great Spanish sword fighter Skippito, he has the adventure of his life, and readers are invited along. Zany, wild, and over-the-top, this utterly original book truly begs to be read aloud.

With the jiggly, effervescent outlines she used in I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie, the smudgy, tender expressiveness of The Grannyman, and a text worthy of a sitcom, Judith Byron Schachner has created a new cat character for all ages. ¡Olé!

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
The Siamese hero of this caper sleeps in a nest-with the birds-and is convinced that he's really a Chihuahua in disguise, and saves his pals from a giant Bumblebeeto Bandito. Ages 4-up. (Apr.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
From The Critics
Skippyjon Jones is not your ordinary Siamese cat. He enjoys being with the birds and much to his mother's displeasure, he sleeps with them, eats worms and plays in the birdbath. This just is not the type of behavior she expects from her son. Banished to his room, and warned to stay out of his closet, Skippyjon does not seem to be the least bit fazed. He actually ends up on another adventure, and this time he is a masked bandito consorting with a group of dogs—the Chimichangos. The fearless Skippyjon saves them from an awful monster bumblebee named Alfredo Buzzito. It turns out that the bee is actually a birthday piñata and when he punctures it all the goodies come spilling out all over his room. Mama for once is not really upset and the irrepressible Skippyjon is ready for his next adventure. The illustrations are as humorous as the story and kids will enjoy them. The text is sprinkled with Spanish terms, which may make reading it aloud a challenge for some and a big hit for others. There is no pronunciation guide for those who may not be familiar with Spanish. 2004, Dutton, Ages 3 to 8.
—Marilyn Courtot

    More advanced

    This is a good "picture reader" book. It will help to go through the flash cards first so that the right words are used for each picture.

    we love skippito!

    This is a very short and simple board book, not like the others we have read (Skippyjon Jones and Skippyjon Jones in the Dog House) which are long delightful tales. But this is a cute book with a character we love and is easier for my one year old to play with so I am still glad we have it.

    The favorite!

    My three year old grandson loves all the Skippyjon books, and this one in particular. Cleverly written, fast paced, highly entertaining. I bought in the "Read to Me" for color nook and love the voice and enunciation of the narrator.

    Not the best.

    My family LOVES Skippyjon and this was a big disappointment! I guess it just wasnt what what we were expecting. There are pictures in place of some words which could be fine except that you couldnt always tell what the picture was supposed to be called. At the end of the book there are flash cards for spanish and english translation which finally gave me an idea of what the pictures were supposed to be. My sister also read this one to my daughter and had the same trouble with the pictures.

    Eclectic little character

    I bought this for some friends of mine who just had their first child. I picked it up because they are cats people; then I read it and fell in love with it. It is a story a little less ordinary yet playful. The writing is fabulous. There are parts written as if Skippyjon is singing which I found to be easy to translate into song. It's a great read and enjoyable for parents, sitters, and children alike.

    Laugh out loud!

    I am a Volunteer Pre-Kindergarten teacher '4-5 years old' and my students and son love all the Skippijon Jones' books. They specially enjoy the CD¿S and the narrator did a ¿fantastico¿ job. My boys and girls cannot stop laughing out, singing, mimicking his little songs, and asking for more of the Skippijon Jones series. Buy it for yourself, for a friend, and for your child¿s teacher, they will and you will enjoy them all.

    Excellent book for young ones, and their parents too!

    Love this book! My daughter's favorite for the last 3 years, we can't get enough of Mr. Fuzzypants. Great way to encourage imaginative play and get a little Spanish too.

    A must have in your children's library!

    My grandchildren love this book. We have it on my iPad, and they have the author read it to them. They are 5 and 2. Their mother is going to purchase a book of their own that she will read to them. What a great book!

    Very Cute Book

    Great story! Very cute, clever and fun. I wish the Nook version was enhanced with a "Read to me" option and some animation like I've seen in other children's books (like in Marley series). Maybe display the pages one at a time instead of two at a time so we can see the words more easily. You can zoom on the writing but it covers the illustration... not ideal for a young child. I think we'll buy the others in hard back for now. I don't regret the purchase though.

    Cute but hard to read text

    The illustrations are great and the story is super cute. Its a little too old for my 17 month old - and she reads a lot. My only complaint is that the text is very small and hard for me to read. On the NOOK color you can tap the text and it enlarges it in a white box, but then is covers up some of the illustration.

    Silly Cat!

    I first heard this book when my teacher for oral communication came in to read to the class two weeks ago. I instantly fell in love with Skippyjon and bought two of the books for my 2 year old son while he was in the hospital. I came online tonight to see if it's formatted for my color nook which it is so I'll be busy buying and downloading when I'm paid next week. This series is a must buy for hours of laughter!

    Pint Sized Adventures

    Skippyjon Jones is a wonderful adventure story about a spunky little Siamese kitten who thinks he is a fearless Chihuahua. This book is full of laughs and entertaining for both young and "older" audiences. Any of the Skippyjon Jones stories are perfect read alouds for the classroom or at home. I can't wait to see what Skippyjon's next adventure holds for him!
