I don't have much to say about tis book except that I love it and all the Skippyjon Jones books. (I'm 50 years old, by the way, and I don't have children.) The opening sentences, though, deserve to be mentioned, since they had be doubled up in laughter in the lunch room at work.
Skippyjon Jones was a real High-Wire Henry. And that made his mama as worried as a worm in a wading pool.
“Oh, my fleas,” wailed Mama Junebug Jones. “Come down from that wire before you break all your bones!”
“He can't hear you,” sang his sisters, Ju-Ju Bee, Jezebel, and Jilly Boo, “cause Skippy's up in squirrely world.”
“Skippy's up in squirrelly world.” I still laugh.
