Here is the book that launched a thousand chimichangoes – the first in the best-selling series about the rambunctious Skippyjon Jones, the Siamese kitty boy with the overactive imagination. He would rather be El Skippito, the great sword fighter, who can do anything. Like saving a roving band of Mexican Chihuahuas from a humongous bumblebeeto that is tormenting them.

Join Skippyjon Jones on his first great adventure. He’s fearless, he’s fun, he gets the job done – yes, indeed-o.
