Skippyjon Jones, Judy Schachner, 2003

This is the first installment in Schachner's Skippyjon Jones series about a Siamese kitten's overactive imagination of wild and absurd dreams of being a superhero chihuahua: Skippito Pepito! The text is strewn about the pages, intersecting a bisecting the illustrations, which are rough yet charismatic in form. Her prose pushes nonsensical rhyme to a delightful edge, which can make your students (especially primary) squeal in amusement. This series is meant to be read aloud.
