Synopses & Reviews
Holy guacamole! Meet the #1 New York Times bestselling Skippyjon Jones!
Skippyjon Jones is no ordinary kitten. Oh, no... He's actually
El Skippito, a great sword-fighter ready to battle banditos the world
over! With a little imagination and a whole lot of fun, this frisky cat
dons a mask and cape and takes on a bad bumble-beeto to save the day.
And along the way, he'll be sure to steal young reader's hearts, yes
indeed-o!
My name is Skippito Friskito.
I fear not a single bandito.
My manners are mellow,
I'm sweet like the Jell-O,
I get the job done, yes indeed-o.
