Skippyjon Jones: Lost In Spice
Holy Hoopleheads—the Siamese kitty boy who thinks he’s a Chihuahua is lost in spice! Wait a minute…spice? It’s one small step for Chihuahuas, one giant leap for El Skippito as Skippyjon Jones gets a big ol’ whiff of chili powder (“Holy HOT tamales!”) and blasts off into space. (Well, sort of.) Craziness ensues when he touches down on Mars (a.k.a. the rojo planet) and comes face to face with his very own Martian-ito twin. Featuring super-imaginative galactic creatures and crazies galore, witty wordplay, Spanish phrases and, of course, Judy Schachner’s trademark hilarity, this is the best kind of space adventure to read out loud to your Skippyjon Jones fans. Now, that’s what we call out of this world fun! (Ages 4-6)

Kids Love It
March 22, 2010
I purchased this book for my class at school. We had previously read one of the other Skippy Jon Jones books and they had really enjoyed it. The theme is a little harder to follow but still extremely enjoyable for the students.

It's OK

We have all the Skippy Jon books and this is the weakest of the story lines. Even my 7 year old son wasn't as impressed. The "spice" theme didn't translate well into the Spanish rythm like the others.

Another great Skippyjon Jones

Even though my son is now 9, I just had to get this book to complete our collection. He grew up loving Skippyjon and he still does. These books will be kept to hand down to his kids! We love the mix of english and spanish and Judy Schachner's imagination is wonderful. It is the perfect combination of silliness and adventure to get little boys interested in reading.

Lost in Spice - a favorite
January 20, 2010
Even though these books are for 4 - 6 year olds, my just-turned-3 year old son has loved SkippyjonJones for about 6 months now. We have three other SkippyjonJones books and he loves them all. This one is a great addition to his book collection, and he has picked it several times since he got it for Christmas.

Love Skippyjon

My 21 month old son loves Skippyjon. At bed time he always yells "Jon Jones Jon Jones!" The books are so funny and I love the hint of Spanish mixed in!
