All of the Skippyjon Jones books are amazing. They are packed with wonderful and creative adventures, alliteration, songs, interesting vocabulary, and laughs. "Class Action" is no exception. From the hilarious story line and the Spanish words, to the beautiful illustrations, I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who wants to inspire and entertain their child.

Worst books ever. The blatant ignorance of the Spanish language and culture aside, there is NO rhythm, flow or point to any of the stories. Bad writing on every level. Frustrating to read aloud and confusing to listen to. Cute illustrations the only redeemable quality. Otherwise, just terrible; the entire series.

I love Skippyjon Jones Books. I buy every one and own every one. I have been reading them to my elementary students for years now. They are funny and the illustrations are precious. The students even learn a few words of Spanish and read in your very best Spanish voice, you will have the kids laughing. It's a great interactive book that has imaginations going wild!

Judith Schachner’s wonderful imagination infuses the story of Skippyjon Class Action. A great sense of play also permeates the book’s artwork. Both make for compelling reasons why you should purchase Skippyjon Class Action, except that there’s an accusation of racism against the whole series. Is the latter true? And, if it is, does that discount the other merits?

Skippyjon is dying to go to school, even if school is just for dogs. And nothing, not even being sent to his room by his mother, is going to keep him from making his wish come true. His mother tells him that he’s already one smart Siamese cat and orders Skippyjon to look into the mirror if he doesn’t believe her words. Skippyjon climbs up his sister’s kitty-condo ladder for a peek, but the result is the opposite of what his mom hoped. Suddenly, Skippyjon is a masked Chihuahua, fully attired with a cape, red plaid shirt, and backpack…. and he’s boarding the school bus where he encounters bullies and other scary moments. Such is the power of imagination!

From what I have read of Schachner’s biography, as a child imagination was her escape. When the world would overwhelm her with burdens, Schachner survived by creating happily-ever-after stories in her head and on paper. I have to believe that, despite the constant availability of passive entertainment (such as television and video games) available to young people today, imagination still has a place in our world. It can help a person escape a world of angst, misery, and dreariness. Moreover, even for the happiest of us, Imagination can also allow us help us find solutions to problems, and perhaps to become the future visionaries of the world–or at least of our homes or workplaces. And Skippyjon is the perfect role model of imagination.

I bought this book for my 3-1/2 year old son from his school's Scholastic book fair. I read it to him a couple of times and couldn't get over this bad feeling that what I was reading to him wasn't quite right. I don't speak Spanish (but he's in a beginner Spanish class), but I could easily tell that most of the "Spanish" words weren't real words, spellings or pronunciations. The tempo of the book and the way it's written almost force the reader to sound like a false, yet stereo-typical Mexican American. As I said, I feel uncomfortable reading it for this reason. I've been reading some Amazon.com reviews on the Skippyjon Jones series and there are a lot of accusations that it is completely racist. I've come to the conclusion that though I don't believe the author is intentionally being racist, she is none the less perpetuating racism through her series - and making a lot of money doing it. I am going to get rid of this book and buy my son some bi-lingual Spanish-English children's books.

A year ago I was forced to read the first Skippyjon Jones book by my niece and nephew and I hated it! The story was disjointed, rambling, and filled with horrible stereotypes. I was appalled at the book and assumed it was one of those one off books that somehow make it through publishing only to fade into obscurity. I was recently asked by my niece and nephew to read this new book Class Action and I was shocked to see there was another Skippyjon Jones book. I can't believe that there are so many Skippyjon Jones books published and that they are so popular! Putting aside for a second the Spanish controversy, this book is horrible just in terms of the plot, characters, and flow. This one was even more disjointed and rambling than the first Skippyjon Jones book I read and had no real plot. This is not a school book, this is not a dog/cat book, it's a weird and nonsensical story with pseudo-Spanish where characters simply add -ito to the end of random words. The language doesn't flow very well and I found myself stumbling every time we came across one of the pseudo-Spanish words because I felt ridiculous pronouncing them. I think this is a terrible introduction to Spanish speakers for young kids who after reading this will think that simply using a fake Spanish accent and adding -ito to the end of words means they're speaking Spanish. There's nothing worse than a bastardization of a language and culture, and it is shocking to see it in a children's book. I just don't get it.
