Dutton Juvenile, 2003
Summary: Skippyjon Jones is a Siamese Kitten whose creative imagination is always leading him to exciting places and landing him in hot water. In this story, he imagines he is the great chihuahua sword fighter El Skippito. He joins a band of chihuahuas and defeats the Bumblebeeto Bandito.
Lesson: I love to talk to kids about using their imagination. Part of this lesson was to extend last week's lesson about Animals and the Dewey Decimal System. Another part was to have them use context clues. Based on the text and pictures, I asked them what they thought the truth was behind the Bumblebeeto Bandito's existence. Some said a real bee was in the closet, some said a picture of a bee. A few noticed the candy and guessed pinata.
Level: Pre-K - 3rd
