Skippyjon Jones is a delightful story of a Siamese cat that thinks he is a Chihuahua! Throughout the first book in the series, we learn that Skippyjon Jones has a very vivid imagination. He runs wild with a pack of chihuahua friends. In his first adventure he rescues his friends from a huge bumblebeeto, "bumblebee."
This book is a fun read aloud, but can be tricky. The words are a bit tongue-twistery and difficult to say.
