I have all of the Skippyjon books for my grandchildren and they just love them...even the newest for the very young one I surely hope there are more coming from Judy Schachner.
Thanks from Katie and her grandbabies....

• Fun, Creative Way To Learn Colors 04 March, 2008
Reviewed by Cayden (age 3-1/2), Max (age 18-months) Aures and Mom for Reader Views (3/08)
"Skippyjon Jones: Color Crazy" is a non-conventional 12- page board book designed to teach young children their colors. In Skippyjon Jones' world the sun is blue, a bunny is green and a tree is orange.
This was our first Skippyjon Jones book and at first my children did not know what Skippyjon was.
Cayden: "I like him. Is he a bunny?"
Mom: "I think he is a cat with big ears."
Cayden: "Oh yeah, he is!"
Cayden: In response to Skippyjon coloring a big blue sun on the ground: "He's drawing on the carpet??"
Cayden: "Skies aren't pink!"
Mom: "Sometimes when the sun sets they are."
Mom: "Which picture did you like best?"
Cayden: "The one where he is coloring on himself because that is funny!"
Parent's comments:
After the second time reading "Skippyjon Jones: Color Crazy," Max went through and was able to name some of the colors. He did not get into the book as much as Cayden did though. Cayden wanted to take the book and go "read" it by himself and Max did not have any interest in it once we were done reading.
I like how the words for the colors were printed in the corresponding color as this helps preschoolers learn how to read. However, whereas a 4-year-old knows what color certain things are, I think this book may be confusing to a younger child when it is telling them that a puddle is purple.

• For Whatever Reason, This Book Is Addictive To 3 Year Olds! 05 June, 2008
My daughter saw this book in a bookstore and asked for it---a rare thing for her, so I bought it. She has adored it every minute since! I would guess I've read it about 500 times, and she has looked at it about a thousand more. I didn't realize when I first got it that there were bigger, fuller books about Skippyjon, and I've since gotten some of them, but this book still rules for her. And I have to admit I've gotten to love it too. Part of it is that it's just fun to say Skippyjon Jones! Another part is the wild pictures---drawn with abandon, and without regard for what color things really are---yellow grass, a purple puddle, etc. The last page, where Skippyjon enjoys the world he has drawn, engages my daughter for a long, long time. I can't say she's really learned colors from this book, but that shouldn't really be the goal of an enjoyable book---you can just read it for fun and to start discussions! It IS hard to tell just what Skippyjon is supposed to be, and that's part of the appeal. Janey calls the Chihuahuas "bunnies" every time, and that's fine with me!
Overall, a book that sneaks into your consciousness and you enjoy the ride!
