An excellent book for Pre-School and Kindergartners! Had to give the book to my son's teacher to read to her class!

My daughter saw this book in a bookstore and asked for it---a rare thing for her, so I bought it. She has adored it every minute since! I would guess I've read it about 500 times, and she has looked at it about a thousand more. I didn't realize when I first got it that there were bigger, fuller books about Skippyjon, and I've since gotten some of them, but this book still rules for her. And I have to admit I've gotten to love it too. Part of it is that it's just fun to say Skippyjon Jones! Another part is the wild pictures---drawn with abandon, and without regard for what color things really are---yellow grass, a purple puddle, etc. The last page, where Skippyjon enjoys the world he has drawn, engages my daughter for a long, long time. I can't say she's really learned colors from this book, but that shouldn't really be the goal of an enjoyable book---you can just read it for fun and to start discussions! It IS hard to tell just what Skippyjon is supposed to be, and that's part of the appeal. Janey calls the Chihuahuas "bunnies" every time, and that's fine with me!

Overall, a book that sneaks into your consciousness and you enjoy the ride!

I ordered this book along with another one and the Skippyjon Jones stuffed animal. My grandson (age 10 months) LOVES them! Very Cute!

I had this book in my home within 7 days from purchasing it. I would buy from them in a minute. They describe the book correctly and they ship real fast. That is what I like when I buy something on line. Correct discription and fast shipment.

I love the "Skippyjon Jones" board books - I've been buying them for shower gifts. Because the backgrounds are simple, they are great books for babies.

My grandson, 5, loves Skippy John Jones. The same is true for this book. Skippy Jon Jones is a lively little Siamese cat who thinks he is a chichuachua. It's a fun book to read to children, too.
As usual Judy Schachner has done an excellent job!!!

i love this series of books. so does my five year old grandson. the book arrived quickly and in great shape.

My 2 year old daughter LOVES Skippyjon Jones... I've bought all the board books for her that are available & am planning to buy the picture books as well. I personally love & enjoy the drawings, they are SO life-like to how a cat acts & looks, right down to the mischievousness in his eyes & his little front teeth. She loves his antics and all the things she can look at, point to, and the words she can try to repeat.

Can't recommend these books enough for toddlers. Don't know about yours, but even though she LOVES for me to read to her, her attention span doesn't hold long w/ very many books. These have consistently been her favorites for a long while now, I'm quite certain she'll enjoy them for a long time to come.

Cheers,

I have all of the Skippyjon books for my grandchildren and they just love them...even the newest for the very young one I surely hope there are more coming from Judy Schachner.

Thanks from Katie and her grandbabies....

My students love Skippyjon Jones! I wasn't sure if they would enjoy board books, since they are kindergarteners who are eager to show how big they are, but they loved it and have read it to themselves and to each other several times.
