Children's Book Review: Skippyjon Jones


Written by Judy Schachner

The Skippyjon Jones series is about an adorible Siamese kitten, who has a very active imagination. He is not content to be just the ordinary Siamese kitty, and imagines himself as so much more. In this delightful tale, Skippyjon becomes Skippito Friskito, the great sword fighter. He then ventures to Mexico to conquer Alfredo Buzzito. This book is sprinkled with comedy, music, Spanish, and several little lessons (My favorite, is that if you try, you can conquer your fears, because they are never as big as you imagine.). You child will be thourougly entertained while activating his imagination.

For other books in the Skippyjon Jones series, consider the following:
Skippyjon Jones in the Doghouse
Skippyjon Jones in Mummy Trouble
Skippyjon Jones and the Big Bones
A Surprise for Mama (Skippyjon Jones)
Skippyjon Jones and the Treasure Hunt
