A kitten’s imaginative alter ego

Skippyjon Jones begins with a kitten who imagines himself as El Skippito, a masked, caped sword-fighter. In his make-believe adventure, he faces a bumble-beeto and sets out to save the day. The description’s rhyming verse and playful Spanish-flavored expressions signal a story built around imaginative role-play and comic wordplay. At 32 pages, this paperback is a compact picture-book adventure, with the action framed as Skippyjon’s own spirited fantasy.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

Holy guacamole! Meet the #1 New York Times bestselling Skippyjon Jones!

Skippyjon Jones is no ordinary kitten. Oh, no. . . .He's actually El Skippito, a great sword-fighter ready to battle banditos the world over! With a little imagination and a whole lot of fun, this frisky cat dons a mask and cape and takes on a bad bumble-beeto to save the day. And along the way, he'll be sure to steal young reader's hearts, yes indeed-o!

My name is Skippito Friskito.
I fear not a single bandito.
My manners are mellow,
I'm sweet like the Jell-O,
I get the job done, yes indeed-o.

*"Both feline hero and story are full of beans (more Mexican-jumping than pinto) but ay caramba, mucho fun."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Buoyant and colorful cartoon illustrations match the exuberant text perfectly."--School Library Journal
