| El Skippito is back! Avoiding a lecture from Mama Junebug, the kitty boy slips into his closet . . . and finds himself in ancient Egypt. His doggy pals, Los Chimichangos, want to visit the Under Mundo--the underworld-- where mummitos rest in peas. But they need El Skippito's brains and courage to answer the riddle of theFinx and enter the mummy's tomb. Our hero is up to the task, and he's in for another grand and whirlwind adventure |
| Full of Judy Schachner's rollicking wordplay and bold, imaginative illustrations, Skippy's latest outsize outing will tickle the funny bones and warm the hearts of his many amigos. |
"Over the years I read hundreds of books to my daughters. Inspired by the art and
words, I was moved once again to finish my portfolio and take it on the road to New
York. That's when I met Lucia Monfried.
The most important relationship in publishing is that of the author/illustrator and her
editor. I am most lucky to have Lucia. With her gentle encouragement and wisdom
she took me by the hand and helped me accomplish the impossible. In 1995 I not
only illustrated my first picture book but I wrote it too. Willy and May was published to
wonderful reviews and no one ever suspected my fear of semi-colons.
The great thing about my job is that one day I can be writing about history, as I did in
Mr. Emerson's Cook. The next day I'm drawing a wacky old woman for I Know An Old
Lady Who Swallowed a Pie. Or I can bring to life a beloved pet cat in my book The
Grannyman. I live in a constant state of 3rd grade bliss - making up stories and
drawing pictures. Isn't that what we all did as children?
Several years ago the great author Lloyd Alexander stood in my back yard admiring
my daughters' Viking ship(that's another story.) Never in my wildest fantasies did I
ever think that my art would inhabit his world of words. How the Cat Swallowed
Thunder proves that dreams really do come true." ~ Judith Byron Schachner
