Whenever this book was available at the library, Violet insisted that it come home with us. I wasn't highly impressed at first but as my child's love of this naughty Siamese "kitty boy" grew, so did mine. This is one of her utmost favorites. We also got the rest of the Skippy Jon Jones board books and they are lots of fun as well. The paperback books are good too and are a great way to introduce children to Spanish, but they are definitely for preschool/elementary - aged children.

Tiny tots are initiated into the cult of Skippyjon Jones with this board book. Up and Down is actually preferable to Skippyjon’s full-length adventures, as this basic book of opposites doesn’t have the opportunity to get into the maddening wordplay and mush-headed storylines of the originals.
That’s a relief; you can enjoy the cute illustrations without suffering through the Three Caballeros-on-speed dialogue.

A simple board book based on the beloved picture book series about the fiesty kitten Skippyjon Jones. This book focuses on opposite concepts like near and far, big and small, over and under, near and far, as well as the more abstract concepts of back and forth. Interestingly, the title opposites of up and down are not portrayed. The pictures are simple and try to directly relate the concept in the text.

I love the illustration of Skippyjon Jones. He is a cute siamese cat with giant ears. this board book focuses on pairs of opposites for toddlers. When you open the book to two open pages contain the pairs. The main owrds standout in red. This is another case where a picture book character has been adapted to the board book format. This one works because of the simplicity of the plot.

This was the book that got my 2-year-old hooked on Skippyjon Jones. The book is written for very young children and teaches opposites. It's very similar to the 20 other books we have in our home that do this, but it includes the adorable cat, Skippyjon Jones.

Amelie picked this one out from the library recently. It's a fun supplement to the board book we already own. Our family is full of fans of this silly Siamese gatito!

Skippyjon Jones is a cute kitty that teaches kids about the basics. You will love the adorable illustrations. Board books aren't just for kids anymore.

This is a Skippyjon Jones book about directions and opposites. Great for teaching these subject areas with young children.

This book would be perfect for teaching prek-1 opposites/antonyms! It has very clear examples for easy understanding.

If I have to read about opposites, an awesomely illustrated siamese cat with an alliterative name helps.

I love how Judy Schachner took simplistic elements and made them into a cute board book that little children and adults could read and enjoy. While it wasn’t a full-blown story, it still had enough Skippyjon aspects that made the book endearing.

Great board book for toddlers about opposites. My 13 month old son laughs at all the funny pictures of the cat and will even "read" (flip through the pages) by himself. I like the simple text and highlighted words (up/down, over/under, etc).

I really like Skippyjon Jones. And he has so much energy, I guess I can relate because he reminds me of my energetic 3 year old son.
