Yo-wee-o! In a milestone picture
book, author-illustrator Judith Byron
Schachner brings us an inspiring
story about making dreams come
true,
seasoned
with a hearty
helping of
heroic Viking
history and
lore.
Skippyjon Jones really wants to go
to school. School is for dogs, his
mama tells him. It's where they go
to get trained. But nothing can stop
Skippy-once inside his closet, he
finds himself on the playground of
his imagination, surrounded by dogs
of all kinds.
El Skippito is back! Avoiding a
lecture from Mama Junebug, the
kitty boy
slips into
his closet .
. . and
finds
himself in
ancient
Egypt.
That’s right, spice. Skippy knows—
from his big ears to his toes—that
the planet Mars is red because it’s
covered in spicy red pepper. To
prove it, he’s off on a space jaunt
replete with
craters, crazies,
and creatures
from Mars.
