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.)

November 21, 2009: My nephew loves Skippyjon Jones. When I found out that there was a new one - Lost in Spice - I knew that it was a perfect choice for his birthday.
I read it when I got home and just started laughing. This cat's imagination knows no bounds. Mars made of chili powder? I cannot wait for the next book in the series - and neither can my nephew, who was thrilled to unwrap this one.I Also Recommend: Skippyjon Jones, Skippyjon Jones, Skippyjon Jones in the Doghouse, Skippyjon Jones in the Doghouse, Skippyjon Jones in Mummy Trouble.
