Skippyjon Jones [Hardcover]

Holy guacamole! Skippyjon Jones is 10 years old!

He's fearless, he's fun, he's a hero to all!

Enjoy a special edition of the book that launched a thousand Chimichangoes with a note from author Judy Schachner about how the character came into being. There's a photo of the real Skippyjon Jones, and even a reversible jacket with El Skippito in his mask-ito on the other side. So hold on to your mice and beans – this book is the fiesta you’ve been waiting for!* 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

The illustrations are as humorous as the story and kids will enjoy them. —Children's Literature

Best known for her Skippyjon Jones series, Judy Schachner has illustrated many of her own stories, including the much-loved Grannyman and its companion book, Bits & Pieces. A #1 New York Times Bestseller, Judy is also known for her spirited reading of the Skippyjon stories, for which she won the first E.B. White Read Aloud Award.  She lives in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.
