The Skippyjon Jones series by Judith Byron Schachner stars the eponymous Cloudcuckoolander Siamese cat, who thinks he's a Chihuahua, much to the dismay of his mother, Mama Junebug. Whenever he's alone, he hides in the closet, hang outs with an imaginary group of chihuahuas, Los Chimichangos, and goes on crazy and fantastic adventures with them, with plenty of English and Spanish wordplay hit back and fourth.The first book, simply named Skippyjon Jones, was released in 2003, with the latest entry so far, Snow What, released in 2014. The book series is intended to introduce basic Spanish to English-speaking children, although it has attracted controversy for allegedly being offensive to Mexicans through a very insensitive and stereotypical depiction of Mexican culture. | |

Gratuitous Spanish | |
| Skippyjon Jones / int_16178c64 | comment |
Gratuitous Spanish: The books use Spanish words frequently, as they intend to teach basic Spanish. Unlike other picture books with this trope, there's no glossary, which means context clues must be used to figure out their meanings. | |

Limited Wardrobe | |
| Skippyjon Jones / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Limited Wardrobe: Zig-zagged. While Skippito wears the same mask and cape, he wears them differently in each book (for example, sometimes he wears the mask like pants, and sometimes he'll wear the cape like a kerchief). | |

Unexpectedly Obscure Answer | |
| Skippyjon Jones / int_42a87000 | comment |
Unexpectedly Obscure Answer: Because Skippito was too nervous to answer the Finx's riddle ( the answer is Skippito himself), he coughs up a furball instead. Don Diego lampshades this. | |

Cloudcuckoolander: Skippyjon Jones absolutely believes he's a Chihuahua, thus refuses to act like a proper cat and more like a dog, which Junebug does not like. And then there's his imaginary adventures with Los Chimichangos. | |

El Spanish "-o": There's plenty of Mock Spanish, such as English words having "-o", "-to", or "-ito" at their ends to give them a Spanish-esque effect. | |
