This is hands down the most adorable, funny, different and fun reads I've seen in a while. I love reading this to my son and acting out all the characters, and playing up the variation between whispering and exclaiming. All the fun words are very entertaining and keeps it interesting for adults and kids alike. And my son has always loved word play himself. It's an really imaginiative story too, that comes out of Skippyjon Jones daydreams and play in his bedroom while he's in the "doghouse." The way it concludes and it all makes sense in the end is great too. I think this will easily be a family favorite for us.
