Make room for SkippyjonJones, a Siamese kittenboy who can't 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 begs to be read aloud. With the jiggly, effervescent outlines she used in I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie, the smudgy, tender expressiveness of The Grannyman, and a text worthy of a sitcom, Judith Byron Schachner has created a new cat character for all ages. ¡Olé! 649854 15 9 2003 Skippyjon Jones total:1447|5:938|4:335|3:119|2:36|1:19| 1447 6478 1602 325 5 3 false false Tue Jan 27 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 07:54:03 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 07:56:14 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 08:29:41 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 08:37:30 -0800 2009 1 Skippyjon's a cat with a vivid imagination and loves pretending to be various kinds of creatures.
