Skippyjon Jones in Mummy Trouble

Skippyjon Jones in Mummy Trouble by Judy Schachner    32 pages

I was intrigued by the title of this book, so, I had to read it.     It seems Skippyjon is a Siamese cat who is friends with a bunch of chihuahuas that like to go on (imaginary play) adventures.   In this particular adventure they go to the underworld of ancient Egypt.   The stories and songs are all told in rhyme and the books come with a CD that Judy Schachner narrates.   Kids will also get a little Spanish taught to them as the chihuahuas speak a mixture of Spanish and English and put Spanish inflection on some of the English words.  (Mummito for Mummy, etc.)   Very cute and very fun.  There is a whole series of Skippyjon Jones books.   Turns out Judy's Siamese cat is named Skippy so its a short jump to where she came up with the star's name.    I would recommend the series to all children and anyone who enjoys reading juvenile literature.  Very cute.
