Product Description
The Siamese kitty boy with the gigantico imagination has returned for another loco adventure. In his room for a time-out, Skippyjon Jones lets his imagination take him to a shack where his Chihuahua friends are yipping and yapping and hiding out from the Bad Bobble-ito, who has taken over their doghouse. How El Skippito chills the Chihuahuas and banishes the Bobble-ito will make more amigos for this endearing and irresistible rascal who made his first appearance in Skippyjon Jones.

Skippyjon Jones is so hilarious that my entire family was laughing, including 11,9,7,4,33&34. Very well done!


1 out of 5 stars This Book Does Not Flow   May 25, 2008
 0 out of 2 found this review helpful

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.


4 out of 5 stars 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.

When we were looking for a story to read last night, my 3-year-old son pulled out this Skippyjon Jones book. I know I have read it to them once before a couple of months ago, but I didn't remember the details. However, my six-year-old son asked if it was the one with the Bobble-ito. As soon as I read the first couple of pages, he knew it was and he was very happy.

I have to agree that the plotting on this one was a little harder to follow, IMO, than the other Skippyjon Jones books (we have the original one and the Egypt one), but my kids seem to understand it just fine. And you don't need to read the first one in the series to still appreciate this book. The first book we read was the Egypt one (aka Mummy Trouble) and we still enjoyed it without benefit of the first one.

We enjoy all the Skippyjon Jones books because there is a lot of Spanglish in them, which is the primary language spoken in our house. My boys really seem to like Skippyjon's antics and his active imagination. They also seem to enjoy the reveals in the end of the story where we learn what real world items in Skippyjon's closet became part of his fantasy world with the Chimichangos. And they really enjoy the little songs throughout the book (you just need to provide your own melody when you read it). All in all, if you feel comfortable with a little Spanglish, this is a great book.
