Synopsis Though he's a Siamese kitten, Skippyjon Jones is pretty sure he's a bird. After all, he shares their nest at night and a breakfast of worms, much to his mother's dismay. With a teeny, tiny body, and a big head crowned by absolutely enormous ears, this dreamy fellow turns to his secret identity after he's banished to his room. A powerful firebrand, clothed in a mask and green cape, El Skippito is certain he can save a gang of distressed Mexican Chihuahuas from a huge bumble-beeto. With spirited enthusiasm, the kitty plunges headfirst into a rip-roaring adventure that ends up involving the whole family. Accompanied by glowing, energetic pastels.
