Skippyjon Jonesby Judy Schachner
Julie DeMarcoElementary Book Talk
Sometimes he thinks he’s a bird, or a bat!
One day, Skippyjon is sent to his room to do some thinking…
“And stay out of your closet” his mother says,
… knowing the things Skippyjon Jones
can get into his head.
Bouncing around in his room, he lands in the closet
And is suddenly in Mexico!
Although here he isn’t a cat, but…
-- a Chihuahua!
“El Skippito, the great sword fighter”
The locals need help getting their beans back, from
none other than…
“Alfredo Buzzito”, the bean-eating blimp. Who is drawing near!
As Skippito thrusts his sword into the air,
Skippyjon Jones finds himself…
Thrown from the closet and back into his room,
safe and
sound
