Skippyjon Jones 4: The Big Bones

Skippyjon Jones 4: The Big Bones by Judy Schachner

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Not entirely sure how this ended up in our kid's library and didn't realize it's part of a series. This particular story features Skippyjon Jones, a mischievous kitten who loves dinosaurs and wants to be a paleontologist. Perhaps stealing Darwin the dog's bones to build his skeleton might not have been the best way to begin his adventure.

Skippyjon Jones 6: Class Action

Skippyjon Jones 6: Class Action by Judy Schachner

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


This is by far one of the most confusing children's books I have ever read. It jumps from English to Spanish to French, to entirely made up words that extremely difficult to pronounce. The kids love it, but it's a confusing tongue twister of a story that makes no sense at all. Why are the dogs going to school while the cats stay home? Why is Skippy, the little Siamese kitten, so convinced he's a chihuahua just because his sister has covered her mirror in pictures of chihuahuas? If you want to be highly confused what words you're even attempting to read or why this would be the premise of any children's book, go enjoy. It is not one that I'll be volunteering to re-read any time soon.
