Summary: 4 Stars
When we were looking for a story to read last night, my 3-year-old son pulled out this Skippyjon Jones book. I know I have read it to them once before a couple of months ago, but I didn't remember the details. However, my six-year-old son asked if it was the one with the Bobble-ito. As soon as I read the first couple of pages, he knew it was and he was very happy.
I have to agree that the plotting on this one was a little harder to follow, IMO, than the other Skippyjon Jones books (we have the original one and the Egypt one), but my kids seem to understand it just fine. And you don't need to read the first one in the series to still appreciate this book. The first book we read was the Egypt one (aka Mummy Trouble) and we still enjoyed it without benefit of the first one.
We enjoy all the Skippyjon Jones books because there is a lot of Spanglish in them, which is the primary language spoken in our house. My boys really seem to like Skippyjon's antics and his active imagination. They also seem to enjoy the reveals in the end of the story where we learn what real world items in Skippyjon's closet became part of his fantasy world with the Chimichangos. And they really enjoy the little songs throughout the book (you just need to provide your own melody when you read it). All in all, if you feel comfortable with a little Spanglish, this is a great book.
