Book 8: Skippyjon Jones in the Doghouse


Skippyjon Jones is a delightfully hilarious Siamese cat…who thinks he’s a Chihuahua. Skippyjon Jones is always getting into trouble for his mischief and when Mama Junebug Jones catches him he goes into time out, which is where his fun begins. He makes up silly rhymes about being a Chihuahua and “Holy Guacamole!” we join him headfirst into one of his “loco” adventures! This book is so great in how the child can learn a few Spanish phrases in the midst of all the silliness occurring. The illustrations are amazing too and draw you into the story. They also tell bits of the story that the writing leaves out. I learned about the Skippyjon Jones books from a girl I babysat who absolutely adored them. The reason is clear. These books are so well written and they just draw you into the story and make you laugh, whatever your age.
