Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Skippyjon book
We are Skippyjon fans at our house. Can't go wrong with this one. The only one that stinks is the Treasure hunt book.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Granddaughter loves it!
I purchased this for my 4-year old granddaughter, who loves the Skippyjon Jones books. She was delighted to see that this little storybook had stickers. She loves putting stickers on pages. It was helpful that the stickers were grouped as to what pages they were relevant to in the story. She liked the story, too. She told her Mom all about Skippyjon making a pinata for his mother. It was a big hit for a critical 4-year old!



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Skippyjon Jones in Name Only
I bought this through Scholastic (school book orders), so I didn't realize this was not written by the author of the series. The story is much shorter. But, it also doesn't make a lot of sense. Skippyjon wants to make his Momma a present to show her he loves her. He decides drawing a picture is too easy and baking a cake is too hard. But, then he decides to try to make her enchiladas, which is harder than baking a cake. He finally ends up making her a pinata. But, the main purpose of this book is allowing the kids to put stickers on certain pages. If I wanted that, I would have bought stickers.

The Spanish is forced into this book (e.g. Skippyjon wants to tell his Momma I love you - te amo). The only reference to Skippyon's chihuahua tendencies is him looking into a mirror and seeing a chihuahua. And I think the friends who help him with the pinata are suppposed to be the Chimichangos, but it's not clear.

In the interest of full disclosure, my 6 and 3 year old boys like this story, which is why I gave it 2 stars. But, I think they like it just because it has their friend Skippyjon in it. I think it would not have been as appealing if it had been some unknown character. I certainly wish I had not bought this book.
