Customer Reviews

Uh Huh Uh Huh Uh Huh (He's a yes man!)

We picked this book up with a CD of the author reading the story through school last year. My son loves it still 6 months later & I find it pretty amusing myself. We have had side discussions about time out, not drawing on the walls, how watching tv is a privilege, using your imagination, and how sassing your parents ("You're not the boss of me!") will get a child in trouble for sure. My son even took it to preschool last year to share with his class. Since it is about cats, I think young girls would be entertained as well. As a parent, I recommend this book particularly if you can get it with the read-along DVD.

We loved it as much as the original!

The story has some similarities to the original, but they are ones that children will appreciate. The humor flows more from the illustrations than the text in this sequel, so be sure to linger over each page and savor the pictures! My first-grader loved this as much as the original, in large part because of the extremely funny drawings -- those who were disappointed must've rushed through the story without looking at the pictures.

GREAT Children's Book!

This book is sooo cute and funny. The adults of our household even enjoy reading it over and over. Great pictures and what an imagination that little Skippyjon Jones has!

We LOVE Skippito Friskito

My son is 2.5 and received this book as a gift and it is now in constant rotation during bedtime reading. He loves to look at the pictures, especially Skippy putting on his Skippito costume and has been heard around the house saying Skippito and Skippy John Jones. I know he is a little young to truly appreciate the entire story but he loves the rhymes and illustrations and am sure this book will grow with us. We can't wait for more adventures with Skippy!

Another wonderful adventure with Skippyjon!

My daughter and I have been waiting for Ms. Schachner to write the 2nd Skippyjon Jones book, and here it is. We were not disappointed, and it was well worth the wait! Excellent story and pictures for children and adults of all ages. We just love the part with the tortilla! Go little Skippito! The Skippyjon Jones books are the best! Ms. Schachner, please keep the Skippyjon Jones books coming! Kathy & Mandy
