Book Reviews of Skippyjon Jones
Book Review: the most fun we've had in a long time!
Summary: 5 Stars
schachner's book is superb! while it is, technically, a children's book, it is one of the very favorites of both my wife and me (and our daughter)! the details of the plot are discussed by other reviewers accurately and completely. as my introduction to schachner's work, i've searched out her other work. while it is hilarious, clever, and pictorially very appealling, the thing that is most important to me is that it makes the time that i get to spend with our children reading more fun than we'd ever imagined it could be (and we're all avid readers). there could be some out there who could be offended on the grounds that it could be seen as politically incorrect. i don't. i find it a terrific book, i'd give it 6 stars if amazon allowed it, and i think that it is well worth the full purchase price. i hope that schachner continues her creative works.Book Review: their first pick for reading aloud
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my nephews as a gift. We read it twice that day, and my sister emailed me a week later to say she had read it to them every night since. When I saw them again 2 months later, it was still their top 2 favorite book (the other is Runaway Dinner).
Their regular sitter is Latina, and my sister asked her what she thought of it. She thinks it is great, and my sister said it was great to hear it read with the proper pronunciation of the Spanish words.
The illustrations are great and there is a cadence that makes it fun and easy to read aloud.
My nephews are 2 and a half and 4 years old.
