Skippyjon Jones Book Series

Have you ever come across one of those children's books that just begs to be read again and again? If you love to read to your children as I do to mine, then you will no doubt find Skippyjon Jones is one of those books.

A New Classic Series

Skippyjon Jones

Skippyjon Jones is the first in a series of five books covering the many adventures of a small Siamese cat with ears so "beeg" he is certain that he must be a Chihuahua. Each book is chock full of colorful language and humor as Skippy ventures into his closet to meet up with his friends Los Chimichangos gang. My personal favorite book is Skippyjon Jones in Mummy Trouble, although I do love reading the other stories as well. My kids love Mummy Trouble and the new book, Skippyjon Jones Lost in Spice.

Judy Schachner has an amazingly funny and playful way with words. She maneuvers them like a Harlem Globe Trotter does a basketball...

"Osi, Osay Osiris,
Our boy's got a touch of the virus.
He coughed up a ball, 
So the Finx made a call, 
And now it's inscribed on papyrus!

It's fun for the whole family!

The great thing about this series is the fact that it is as fun to read for mom and dad as it is for junior. I highly recommend it on my list of must reads for kids. It is sure to become a classic! You will want to start your reading with the first book Skippyjon Jones, as it introduces the kittyboy himself. The others can come in any order! Have fun! And happy reading!

The purr-suasive Mama Junebug Jones

An excerpt from Skippyjon Jones in the Dog House

"If you think
more like a cat,"
she said, "Mama will catch you
a mouse big and fat.
I'll dip it in butter
and roll it in cheese....
All you must do is think
SIAMESE!"

Make Mama Junebug Jones Proud

Think Siamese!
