This is a story about Skippyjon Jones a siamese cat who pretends to be a sword fighting chihuahua. On this adventure Skippyjon Jones takes a trip to Egypt and the underworld and had to solve a riddle for the finx to enter the mummy's tomb. ( )

Skippyjon Jones is about a young kitten that has a very active imagination. Skippyjon Jones goes into his closet which just happens to be ancient Egypt. In his closet or Egypt, he meets up with some old friends and begins his adventure to find mummies. Skippyjon Jones venture off into the dessert in hunt of the Under World where the mummies rest. In his adventure, Skippyjon Jones is mummified himself by three goddess. When he arrives back home he realizes he was not actually mummified, but simply wrapped in toilet paper by his three younger sisters.

This book was very funny and also had an educational and cultural value with the Spanish words added in the story.

One lesson that I could use this book would be to explore the idea of mummies more in depth with the students. Exploring mummies would include the process of mummification, where they were buried, what they were wrapped in, and so on. Another idea for the classroom would be to practice using context clues in a story to help figure out meanings of an unknown word. The students would pick out the Spanish words and try to figure out the meaning using context clues in the story.
