Skippy jon Jones by Judy Schachner
         Move over, Eloise and Olivia.  Make room for Skippy jon Jones,  a Siamese Kitten-boy who cant resign himself to being an ordinary cat.  Having a time out in his room, he resorts to his imagination.  Taking on the superhero persona of the great Spanish sword fighter Skippito, he has the adventure of his life, and readers are invited along.  Zany, wild, and over-the-top, this utterly original book truly bets to be read aloud.  

         With the jiggly, effervescent outlines she used in Know an Old Lady who Swallowed a Pie, the smudgy tender expressiveness of The Grannyman, and a text worthy of a sitcom, Judith Biron Schachner has created a new cat character for all ages.  Ole!
        Skippy jon Jones is a fun interactive book you can use during the transition times in a classroom.  The students love to be involved in stories.  You also get to sing a song to the tune of, "Mexican Hat Dance."   Enjoy and share a good book with your students today!
