One of the great bilingual reads, Skippyjon Jones is about a rambunctious kitten with ears to match the size of his imagination. Bored with Siamese life, this delightful kitten takes on the identity of a masked sword-fighting Chihuahua named Skippito Friskito who goes on a score of imaginary adventures only to exasperate his mother who somehow remains fond of her little rascal. Acutely humorous illustrations complement the story in a fun and fantastical fashion.
