Award-winning author Judy Schachner delivers another entertaining children's book. After sleeping with the birds, Skippyjon Jones is sent to his room to think about what it means to be a Siamese cat. Instead, he imagines he is a brave, sword-fighting Chihuahua bandit, Skippito Friskito, and meets a band of Chihuahuas. In no time, he is asked to face the evil Bumblebeeto and rescue the band's stolen beans. "Both feline hero and story are full of beans (more Mexican-jumping than pinto) but ay caramba, mucho fun."-Kirkus Reviews

      Brimming with hilarity and exuberance, this is the perfect read-aloud. Poor Skippyjon, the Siamese cat, can't quite decide what he is, and, after being sent off to his room to think about it, he gets to jumping on the bed. After one really enormous bounce he catches sight of himself in the mirror on the way down and decides he's a chihuahua. Now he's off on a sword-wielding adventure, leading a mysterious band of chihuahuas on a bandito-fighting, bean-rescuing face-off with the evil Bumblebeeto. Robert Ramirez superbly captures the spunk and merriment of this gem--to say nothing of getting deftly around the tongue-twisting Spanish-influenced rhymes. The same text is on Side B with page-turn signals, which make it perfect to accompany the book, also highly recommended for its charming and comic illustrations. D.G.

      The Siamese hero of this caper sleeps in a nest—with the birds—and is convinced that he's really a Chihuahua in disguise, and saves his pals from a giant Bumblebeeto Bandito. Ages 4-up.

      School is not for catsâmuch to the chagrin of Skippyjon Jones. Taking on his Chihuahua persona, Skippito Friskito, he boards the bus (via the closet) bound for Barker Academy. At school, slobbery dogs eat crayons and glue, sleep on desktops, and howl in music class. Like its predecessors, this adventure jumps manically between prose and rhyming verse, all dotted with Spanish (and Spanish-ish) words, as Skippyjon works up the courage to face the school's "woolly bully," who turns out to be a teacup Chihuahua. Skippyjon's world is as off-kilter, high-energy, and irreverent as ever. Audio CD included. Ages 3âup.
