5 out of 5 stars Holy Guacamole! Our hero is Skippito!   September 6, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

My 4-year old daughter, husband & I absolutely love this book! It's one I never get tired of reading! It is so funny, and the illustrations are terrific. One of the cutest books ever!!! Wonderful for the imagination. I highly recommend this book! My daughter gets so excited she can hardly wait for her bedtime story.


1 out of 5 stars Terrible book   August 24, 2008

I am surprised that so few people realize how bad and ultimately racist and stereotyping this book is. It was a gift and when I heard my husband read it to our daughter it shocked me how tasteless it is. Out the door it goes...


4 out of 5 stars A captivating imaginative children's book!   July 28, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

My little granddaughter was delighted by this book. She loved the rhymes and the Spanish phrases, since they are introducing some Spanish in her preschool classes. And she was very taken by Skippyjon, with his big head and personality.
It is a charming, original book with captivating illustrations.


3 out of 5 stars Just not that interesting   July 21, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I wasn't interested in this book, neither were my nieces (5 and 2.5) at all.

The story didn't grab any of us at all.

Additionally, I don't think mock-Spanish is particularly funny. I don't think it's overly racist, not in this book, I just don't think it's *funny*.

I get that other people like it a lot, I just... don't. This is one I suggest you read before you buy.


1 out of 5 stars Skippyjon Jones is not appropriate, nor "multi-cultural"   June 25, 2008
 1 out of 5 found this review helpful

Before I read this book to my kids, I would have wanted to know that the book was incredibly horrible. Who's writing the rave reviews out there? It's not only racist, but just plain bad. Adding -o doesn't make it Spanish, or exciting to read. It's lazy writing that depends on end rhymes and stereotypes to carry the plot along.
I've never written a review for Amazon before, but seeing that this book was rated so highly really got me thinking. Are there any checks and balances to make sure Amazon book reviews aren't getting pumped up by authors, publishers, etc?
