Book Description
El Skippito is back! Avoiding a lecture from Mama Junebug, the kitty boy slips into his closet . . . and finds himself in ancient Egypt. His doggy pals, Los Chimichangos, want to visit the Under Mundo—the underworld— where mummitos rest in peas. But they need El Skippito's brains and courage to answer the riddle of theFinx and enter the mummy's tomb. Our hero is up to the task, and he's in for another grand and whirlwind adventure.
Full of Judy Schachner's rollicking wordplay and bold, imaginative illustrations, Skippy's latest outsize outing will tickle the funny bones and warm the hearts of his many amigos.

soooooo funny and fun!.......2007-09-10
I have two other skippyjon jones books, and this one doesn't disappoint! My daughter just turned 3 a month ago, and she absolutely loves these books! Sure she doesn't get the humor the way we adults do, but she finds it just as funny and enjoyable in her own way nonetheless. We sometimes read these every day, if not every other, and find that we miss them if we don't. The illustrations are just as good as the writing too! I highly recommend these, you will laugh your head off every time!
Silly, Fun, and Cute.......2007-08-26
Great book to read out loud to your kids or in the classroom.
"My ears are too beeg for my head"
"My head ees too beeg for my body"
"I am not a Siamese cat.....
I AM A CHIHUAHUA"
Just a little taste of the books silliness.
Great book.......2007-07-01
My [....] and I have so much fun reading the Skippyjon books. Mummy Trouble is our third. We also have the original Skippyjon Jones and Skippyjon Jones In the Dog House. The CD is a bonus - sometimes my son likes to pop in the CD and listen to the author read the story while he follows along in the book.
We love Skippyjon Jones!.......2007-06-10
Absolutely love this series! Kids cheered when they saw we had a new book and ask that we read them more often than most others. My three year old runs around saying "mummies, mumples and measles" as fast as he can. Hope Ms. Schachner writes many more.
Not as good as her first two Skippy's.......2007-05-12
I loved the first two Skippy books, as did my 6 and 3 yr olds. But, this one talks about mummies and pyramids of which they are not yet knowledgable. I hope her next book goes back to a story the little ones can love once again. This one is not requested reading, like the first two.
Book Description
The Siamese kitty boy with the gigantico imagination has returned for another loco adventure. In his room for a time-out, Skippyjon Jones lets his imagination take him to a shack where his Chihuahua friends are yipping and yapping and hiding out from the Bad Bobble-ito, who has taken over their doghouse.

Magnifico. My 4 year old twins love it.
Kids love these stories!.......2007-05-29
The kids cannot wait for the next skippyjon jones adventure! These are great books.
My favorite book for my daughter.......2007-04-06
This book is fun to read, and my 2 year old daughter loves it! It is somewhat difficult to read, but that is partly what makes it so fun. This is so far my favorite book that we have bought for my little girl. Good story, and very funny.
She's done it again.......2007-03-28
I have all of the SkippyJon books and cannot wait for the next one. My oldest son and his wife and newest daddy and mommy in my family found the series while shopping for something to read to their baby waiting to be born. She is 3 months old now and reacts to all of the SkippyJon books with glee...the rest of my grandchildren, spanning 3 to 12, love the series and are anxiously awaiting another.
Skippyjon Jones in the Dog House.......2007-03-18
Absolutely the best book ever! My son loves the CD and hasn't taken it out of the car for the last 2 weeks. Had to pass this one on to other Kg. teachers so they could share the fun imagination and rhyming to their students. Now have the perfect gifts for my nephews!

We love this book. My kid's like to say the spanish words and the pretend spanish words. Very fun story and characters. We sing the songs and act out the story - a must for all families!
Tongue teaser /pleaser and Purrfectly fun !.......2007-09-18
My three year old son and I love all of the Skippyjon Books~ The words are so fun to read out loud. Not monotonous like some children's books are. I love the Mommas nicknames for the kitten boy too !

Great reference.......2007-09-27
This book is really handy. It's nice that it's specific to the chihuahua breed--lots of information to help this new puppy owner differentiate between the general advice for all puppies and approaches best suited to my pup.
One of my favorite things about this book is the way it has really helpful information like diagrams of different tail positions and whether they indicate something is wrong. Great reference.
great book.......2007-08-05
very good book, i just adopted a 2 year old chi & i love him dearly but he was not well socialized or well-temermented & this book gave me soo much information on how to correct that even though hes not a puppy and the advice works lol i take my pup to the park in the AM when dog off leash time is allowed and now he plays and doesnt hide or attack and thanks for all the chi adivce
Easy and fun to read, plus informative!.......2006-12-17
I found this book to be very easy and fun to read, plus extremely informative. It's a great book to buy BEFORE you get your Chihuahua because it puts everything into perspective. After I got my two Chihuahua puppies I carefully followed this book's instructions and my puppies immediately learned to be very obedient and it wasn't long before they were potty trained inside and outside the house. I highly recommend it!
Good.......2006-07-28
I liked this book very much. It had Info that I needed to know about Chihuahuas and how to raise them.
Best "For Dummies" I've read.......2006-03-02
This book was very well written and had everything I could possibly want to know about Chihuahuas. The author seemed very knowledgable and that fact that she used to show AmStaffs makes me like her even more. Two thumbs up.

Excellent for Chi Puppy Owners.......2007-05-12
This book helped with understanding the temperament of the Chi. It has been an excellent aid with potty training, basic commands, and hazards that could harm or kill your Chi.
Excellent Book.......2007-01-21
I just got this book, and it's great. There is a lot of information on many subjects, from potty training to traveling. There is information there relating to foods toxic to chihuahuas that other books recommend feeding them. This brings up things I need to ask my vet. It's always good to have up to date information. There aren't a lot of pictures, but this is more of an informational book than a picture book.

Carry-Ons: Traveling Chihuahuas (Carry Ons)
ASIN: 0062516728

Book Description
A Different Kind of Love Story
When Mary Beth Crain lost her husband of only three years to cancer, she though she would never again know the meaning of the word happiness. Inconsolable, she couldn't imagine anything with the power to draw her out of the seemingly bottomless pit of grief.
But there was a savior - or two - on the horizon, in the form of President Harry S. Truman, Mary Beth's idol, from whose practical wisdom she had always drawn strength, and his namesake, Truman, a three-pound Chihuahua. Drawing upon Harry Truman's wise words, and the small but powerful furry presence that brightened her world, Crain shares her experience of overcoming loss by finding inspiration and joy in both her dog and a former president who was the embodiment of common sense, integrity, and optimism.
Customer Reviews:
Caregiving and Grieving with Humor.......2007-05-15
I found myself laughing out loud on almost every page. Mary Beth Crain seems to embody the essence (and the quirks) of living through the process of being a caregiver,grieving her loss and moving across bereavement with her companion Truman. Her humor shines through, giving a light hearted overview of a serious subject. We need more books on Care Giving and the Bereavement Process that uplift our spirits and giving us a good "Belly Laugh" along the way. KUDOS !!For the Laughter!

A Wonderful Story of Healing.......2006-07-03
Aside from being more-than-a-little horrified that she went away for the weekend knowing her cat was ouside with its lower jaw ripped off....this was a wonderful book.
It's a lovely story of how animals help heal our hearts.
But, I still have trouble resolving the woman who wrote this book as the same woman who left her maimed cat alone for the weekend. Temporary insanity is the only explanation. She really should have left that part out.
Says It All So Well!.......2002-07-29
An entertaining narrative of Chihuahua personality and charateristics per se, as well as an astute insight into the complexities of emotions and perceptions while restructring life after the loss of a spouse. An excellent account of canine capers and especially personal renewal, spiced with humor and tears, says it all so well!
A great story that has meaning.......2001-06-17
I really related to this story as I too, lost my husband two years ago with cancer. Also my chihuahuas and cats and birds have been my salvation. I really understand where this lady is coming from. She did an excellant job of relating the real feelings one experiences with a death of a loved one. My hat is off to Mary Beth as a really great writer and may she find the happiness she deserves. I too, believe there is a connection with dog and God.Carole
For Anyone Recovering From a Lost Love.......2001-01-04
I found this book while searching for manuals on how to raise my new chihuahua "baby." He came into my life not because I had lost someone to cancer like the author, but as a last-chance effort to get over a broken heart. In the end the cause of the loss didn't matter; I could totally relate to the author, her grief and the healing power of 6 pounds of atomic puppy.
My thanks to the author for a book that was an integral part of my recovery and for validating all the feelings I thought were mine alone.
This book is not for the literary snob, or high-brow reader; however, it's pure delight for anyone who thinks they'll never love again after a loss.

Customer Reviews:
Great Tool.......2007-09-27
Great book in teaching us about our pup. Answers lots of questions people ask us about the Chi breed, and helps us understand why she does what she does!
NOT THAT INFORMATIVE.......2006-04-05
Even as a new owner of a Chihuahua, I know there has to be better books out there than this one. The information in this book isn't anything more than information you can find for yourself simply by doing a little online research. The pictures are not impressive and feature less than average dogs. After reading the reviews on Amazon, I decided to purchase this book (instead of the other titles) but I wish I had taken the time to check it out at a bookstore in town before going through the trouble of purchasing, waiting and then returning. If you are a new owner of a Chihuahua (or even a "veteran") simply search online. You'll find the same information.
One of the Best for a Newbie.......2006-01-10
As an owner of many chis I have found this book to be of great value to me. There are 154 pages of chihuahua information and lots of pics depicting all sizes and colors of chis(except the merle pattern!) Granted, not all pics follow the breed standard, but not all puppies are perfect either.
Has a good chapter on health problems common to chis, however it did not mention cryptorchidism which is common in the male, especially if they are line bred, and did not have much info on pyometra which can quickly become fatal in an unspayed female.
The chapter on breeding is pretty extensive for a book not devoted to the subject of only breeding and the genetics sections is simple to understand, but very informative and worth learning if you intend to bred.
Highly recommended for a first time owner, any one wanting to know about the chi or for an owner that would just like a good read about their faithful little friend.
Not Show Quality.......2005-12-04
I did enjoy the content of this book, but the pictures dipict chihuahuas that are not to standard...
GREAT BOOK!.......2005-09-21
THIS IS A GREAT BOOK FOR ANYONE WHO EITHER OWNS A CHIHUAHUA OR IS THINKING ABOUT OWNING A CHIHUAHUA. IT HAS SO MUCH INFORMATION TO HELP YOU WITH YOU PRESENT OR FUTURE LITTLE DOG! IT HAS HELP ME ALOT!

HORRIBLE WASTE.......2007-04-20
Well, if you looking for a book on Chihuahua's, this is certainly NOT the book for you. Like a previous reviewer states, the book doesn't contain any useful information at all. It is all fluff. Anyone that knows how to search the Internet will find the same info. I would not waste your money on this useless book.
No good!.......2006-10-12
This book is nothing more than the published glorification of the Chihuahua breed. Not in-depth at all and has absolutely no value to someone who wants to take SERIOUS care of the animal. Might as well title it "The Essential Dog". Very general look at caring for dogs - as a whole! "Essentially" an unnecessary purchase.
The Essentia Chihuahua.......2000-06-15
The book looks like a great book im defanitly ordering it right away i love chihuahua's and this looks like a extremly good book on them.
Book Description
The #1 selling full color guidebook for those wishing to experience the heart and soul of the Copper Canyon and the Sierra Tarahumara.

Traditional Tarahumara festivals documented here have never been seen in any previous publication. The outstanding features of this guidebook include the unique and extensive coverage given to the Copper Canyon train trip, the Tarahumara championship runners, plus new materials on the Mystical Barrancas.
Customer Reviews:
Good overview.......2007-01-04
This is the only book I could find on the canyon. It gives you a good overview of what to expect before you leave home and is a handy reference for when you get back. There are some photos - many of places you will not see unless you have your own independent mode of transportation.
The Best of Mexico's Copper Canyon.......2001-07-20
Fabulous book--great color pictures! A must for every travel library. I am ordering a second book, so I can lend it out to friends!
This books captures the people of the Copper Canyon........1999-02-22
Whether you plan to take a trip to Mexico's Copper Canyon or not, this book is a wonderful journey into that region. It provides both a fascinating look at the Tarahumara Indians as well as travel tips for the adventurous traveler.
Padre Luis Verplancken, S.J., the co-author of the books, has lived in the Copper Canyon region for more than 20 years. He provides an intimate portrait of the Tarahumara, both in words and pictures. Through Padre Verplancken, we learn about the Tarahumara people, religion, and social structures.
Mr. Fisher has compiled additional information on some of the other interesting places in the region. No trip to the Copper Canyon is complete, for example, without a visit to Batopilas. Or take a trip on the the Chihuahua El Pacifico railroad.
So whether you are an armchair traveller or a hearty hiker, this book is a must.
