Skippyjon Jones

written and illustrated by Judy Schachner
ages: 4-8 years

Hola dudes! When Siamese cat Skippyjon Jones gets in trouble with Mama Junebug Jones for pretending to be a bird, she sends him to his room to think about what it means to be a cat. While Skippyjon is in his room jumping on his big boy bed, he sees himself in the mirror and is startled to see that he looks like a Chihuahua! After Skippyjon lands, he grabs a mask, his hobby mouse, his best Spanish accent and becomes El Skippito, the great sword fighting Chihuahua. As Skippyjon walks into his closet, "he is transported to a lonesome desert road, far, far away in old Mexico." Join Skippyjon Jones and his band of Chihuahuas, Los Chimichangos, as they battle El Blimpo Bumbelbeeto Bandito.

Full of silliness, rhymes, and the endearing El Skippito, this book is sure to engage readers and listeners alike! See if your local library or bookstore has this available as a book on tape--the author reads it and it is wonderful!
