One of the things I love most about technology when it comes to books is that I can download samples of anything I want to read before I commit to it (see: spend money).

Skippyjon Jones is a kitty who thinks he is a chihuahua. He puts on his cape and mask and becomes El Skippito the Great Sword Fighter and has adventures in his closet. His mama is silly and always wants him to think about what it means to be a kitty…but Skippyjon doesn’t want to be a kitty!
I love these books! Of course, any book that has the words “Holy Guacamole!” is good with me!
So check em out. There are also a couple of board books about colors and opposites that Preston gets a kick out of. The only thing we’re missing is a stuffed Skippyjon. Oh, and …
