$17.99 PICTURE BOOK Content: G.
Skippyjon Jones is a Siamese Cat who wants to be a Chihuahua. He is always up to some crazy stunt
that puts his poor mother to worrying, but his three little sisters think he’s
pretty tricky. In this story,
Skippyjon Jones thinks he needs to be in a circus. After he is caught practicing his acrobatic moves on the
telephone wire outside, Skippyjon Jones’ mom puts him in timeout in his
room. This just gives Skippyjon
Jones a chance to dream up a story where he is involved in a circus show with
other Chihuahuas . In his dream,
carried out in his closet, Skippyjon Jones does some very acrobatic moves,
ending in him being shot out of a cannon, where he in reality lands on his
mother’s head, putting an end to his circus dream.
This book comes with a CD that reads the story. The story rhymes and has a mixture of
Spanish words throughout. The
pictures are cute and my boys love the sound of this story being read out loud,
although sometimes it feels like I’m reading a tongue twister.
