 A Siamese Cat Who Thinks He's a Chihuahua! October 19, 2008
Lynn Ellingwood (Webster, NY United States)
Skippyjon Jones is a Siamese cat who seems to think he is a chihuahua. He likes to visit Mexico and have adventures in his bedroom, speak Spanish and they are very interesting. A great little book for naughty, but dreamy children.

 This Book Does Not Flow May 25, 2008

We are big Skippyjon Jones fans in this house but this book simply did not live up to our expectations. The story line is difficult to follow, one comment says if you study the illustrations things make sense, my children love to linger on pages looking at the illustrations but this book simply jumps from one scenario to the next and is confusing at times and not easy to follow. My six year old asked "how long more until the end?". A fun series to read, this book however, was just a dud.
 Funny, goofy book! May 2, 2008

This is our first Skippyjon book and quite frankly, it's funny. You HAVE to read it with a Spanish accent to really get the "jist" of the rhyme and my guy laughs silly over it. This goofy cat longs to be a chihuahua and after drawing a million of them on a newly painted wall, his mother sends him off to his room to think "siamese." My complaint, which is why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5, is that there is a point in the story where his mother tries to correct him and Skippyjon yells back, "you're not the boss of me!" Honestly, why was THAT necessary in this book? Doesn't add a thing to the story but shows a favorite character talking back to his mother. Not the best idea. Other than that, it's just plain silly, makes no sense whatsoever, making it the perfect "giggle" book for youngsters. Skippyjon Jones pretends he's a chihuahua superhero who saves the day for a bunch of chihuahuas in chihuahua land, by taking out a Siamese cat bobblehead toy that they're all deathly afraid of, from the attic in the chihuahuas' doghouse. To get "Skippito" up to the attic, they roll him up in a flour tortilla and "bounce" him on up. That was pretty funny! He stuffs the bobblehead into his superhero costume and then slides down the bannister into the tortilla. He's wrapped up again in the tortilla as the superhero of the day. If you have boys, be sure to get these goofy books - they really like this cat a lot! Recommend but with the above reservation.
