The Siamese kitty boy who thinks he is a chihuahua just can't stay out of trouble. Skippyjon Jones can't stop his overactive imagination. This time, it takes him to ancient Egypt. Who should be wiating for him there but his old Chihuahua chums? They want to visit the Under Mundo—the underworld—where mummitos "rest in peas." But they need the brains and bravery of El Skippito, Skippyjon's Zorro-like alter ego, to answer the Finx's riddle and enter the oldy, moldy tomb of the mummy. Sounds like big trouble. But El Skipito gets the job done, yes, indeed-o. Rhymes and riddles, rollicking wordplay, and much fun await all the readers who have fallen in love with the kitty with gigantico ears and an even bigger hear. ¡Vamonos! Judy Schnachner is the author/illustrator of the wildly popular Skippyjon Jones series, The Grannyman, a book about an old Siamese cat, which won the Nebraska Golden Sower Award, and Yo, Vikings!, which won the Chapman Award from Planet-Esme for Best Classroom Read-Aloud for 2002. Ms. Schachner had a Siamese cat named Skippy who served as the inspiration for Skippyjon Jones. Bonus CD available at URL listed on the Book jacket.
