How to Read the Skippyjon Jones Books

The twelve books are shown in publication order, but they are not a numbered continuing story. Start with Skippyjon Jones for the character's full introduction; the shorter color, shape, counting, and opposites books can be read independently with toddlers.

For parents

What Parents Should Know

The stories are exuberant read-alouds with invented words, rhyme, physical comedy, and long imaginary sequences. The concept books are much shorter than the main picture-book adventures, so the reading experience varies substantially across the list.

Skippyjon's alter ego uses mock Spanish and a caricatured Mexican setting and accent. Some families will find the wordplay silly; others may prefer to preview it and talk with children about the difference between playful bilingual language and stereotypes.
