The New York Times bestselling kitty boy blasts off into another hilarious adventure.
Buckle up, amigos everyone's favorite kitty boy is about to lift off. You'll want to be there when the brave Skippito gets lost in spice!
That's right, spice. Skippy knows from his big ears to his toesthat 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. His new adventure is packed with witty wordplay, Spanish phrases, and Judy Schachner's trademark hilarity. This rollicking romp is simply out of this world.
Skippyjon Jones, the Siamese kitten who thinks he's a Chihuahua, is also “nuts about Mars,” which he decides to visit via a trip to his closet. Passing through the constellations, the space-suited (really, it's a snowsuit) feline encounters Los Chimichangos, who appear in a fiery comet, as well as his green Martian double once he reaches the red planet, which is covered in chili powder. Skippyjon's ludicrous adventures and energetic personality will keep fans happy that his imagination remains unchecked. A recording of the story read by the author is also included. Ages 3–5. (Sept.)

February 07, 2010: I don't know who enjoys and laughs harder at Skippyjon- me or my 5 yo daughter. Once again the cat who looks like a Chihuahua finds himself in an imaginative adventure that results in a giant mess. Hilariousness ensues.
