TIPLINE: Skippyjon Jones (and a Happy Birthday to Judith Byron Schachner)!

The Independence Public Library's Interesting Nuggets of Exploration: Skippyjon Jones

Last Saturday was a whole lot of furry fun at the Check The Chip Day. We made pet toys, helped out the Buchanan County Animal Shelter, and met a litter of kittens looking for a good home. Some of them have already been adopted! If you weren't able to stop in on Saturday, try not to be too sad. you can find some great cats and dogs at the library anytime. You might be surprised to find out just how many series star (or co-star) a cat or dog,or a cat that thinks he a dog, like Skippyjon Jones.
Skippyjon Jones is a Siamese kitten who thinks he is a Chihuahua, and the star of a children's book series by Judith Byron Schachner. Today is the author's 64th birthday. If you'd like to give Skippyjon Jones a try, stop in at the IPL and look for the Happy Birthday sign in the picture books. You can also ask at the circulation desk, we're always happy to help.
If Skippyjon Jones doesn't satisfy your cat and dog cravings, give some of these furry friends a try:
