Skippyjon Jones and the Big Bones
Holy guacamole! Skippyjon Jones is crazy-loco for dinosaurs! The kitty boy enters (via his closet) the
land of dinosaurs in search of the fabled Skipposaurus. Instead he runs into his old amigos, the
Chimichango gang. When a T-Mex threatens the pack, it's El Skippito, the great sword fighter, to the
rescue. With yips and yowls, he drives the big baddie away, so all the dino-dudes can rattle their bones
another day. This fourth entry in a series that Kirkus Reviews called "ay caramba, mucho fun," will win
even more fans for the Siamese cat with oversize ears and an imagination to match.

Kindergarten-Grade 3–Another tale featuring the independent, stubborn Siamese kitten. Once again,
Skippyjon dons mask and cape, enters his closet, and changes into El Skippito Friskito, an adventure-
loving Chihuahua. Here, after daydreaming about ancient Egypt, he converts into his alter ego and
meets his amigos (a pack of troublemaking poochitos) along the Nile River. Skippyjon fans will find
much to like here–the amigos speak a slang of Spanish and English and spur the frightened kitten into
confronting the Sphinx and a mummy–but the book may be a bit confusing for newcomers as there is no
explanation of his transformation or his canine pals. Done in acrylics and pen and ink, the vibrantly
colored illustrations add humor to the already silly story (the gang wants to visit the Under Mundo where
mummitos rest in peas) and children will want to stop and pore over the details (the mummy is a
Siamese). The text is lengthy, with several points of action, so it is recommended for readers who can
follow the longer format. However, the narrative is broken up by songs and rhymes that will keep them
laughing throughout. When Skippyjon returns to his (real) mummy, youngsters will feel as if they have
been to ancient Egypt with him.–Susan E. Murray, Glendale Public Library, AZ

Kindergarten-Grade 3–The Siamese cat from Skippyjon Jones (Dutton, 2003) that thinks he's a
Chihuahua returns in another adventure. Sent to his room by his mother for drawing on the walls, the
feline puts on a mask and cape and then sings in a Spanish accent: "Oh, my name is Skippito
Friskito/And I heard from a leetle birdito/That the doggies have fled/From the gobbling head/Who goes
by the name Bobble-ito!" He then boards his skateboard and rolls into his closet, eventually arriving at a
shack where he finds his Chihuahua friends. They explain that their home has been invaded ("Yesterday
morning we left the house to buy some beans…when we returned, a Bobble-ito was in la casa perrito")
and ask for his help. He solves the problem by grabbing the intruder and stuffing it into his pants. At
story's end, Mama checks on Skippyjon and finds him wrapped in a blanket and talking to his sister's
bobblehead doll. Schachner's ink-and-acrylic illustrations create the madcap surrealistic world
Skippyjon inhabits, but the narrative offers little more than bad verse, confused plotting, and Taco Bell-
style expressions–a fact underscored by the accompanying CD of the author reading her two Skippyjon
tales. For rhyming dog stories, skip this doggerel and stay with the antics of Lynley Dodd's "Hairy
Maclary" books (Tricycle).– Kathleen Whalin, York Public Library, ME

Skippyjon Jones Shape Up (Board book)
Skippyjon has an overactive imagination. And he is pretty active himself. Here he shapes up with
shapes: he runs in a circle, tap-dances on a square, orbits an oval. And then the great sword fighter
shows his muscles.
