skipto friskito.

what could be better than a big-eared siamese kitten pretending to be a chihuahua? not much if you ask me—or any other kid (er, or parent who secretly reads their kid's books when they're sleeping). the 'skippyjon jones' books are meant to be read aloud ... and are hilarious at worst.

alliteration. check.

awesomely descriptive and silly illustrations. check.

clapping. check.

rhyming. check.

singing. check.

spanish vocab. check.

goofy spanish-accent. double check.

three kitten sisters wreaking havoc on their brother. triple check.

other than the 'elephant & piggie' books (of which are on tomorrow's list of things to write about), skippyjon jones is just about the best read-aloud you can find. besides, how cute is this little guy?!

My name is Skippito Friskito. (clap-clap)

I fear not a single bandito. (clap-clap)

My manners are mellow,

I’m sweet like thee Jell-O,

I get the job done, yes indeed-o. (clap-clap)
