Time for Kenny

Time for Kenny

Brian Pinkney

Time for Kenny to get up and enjoy the day with his family!  In four deceptively simple stories, Brian Pinkney guides readers through a young child’s day.  First, Kenny must get dressed.  Maybe he can wear his mom’s shoes?  And his grandpa’s hat seems to fit perfectly on his head.  Luckily, with the help of his family, Kenny is finally set to go.   Then he must overcome his fear of the monstrous vacuum cleaner, learn to play soccer with his big sister, and after all that fun, get ready for bedtime.

Bright, colorful, energetic illustrations create a bold, accessible book for families to treasure and share.  Rhythm, repetition, and clear, short sentences make Time for Kenny an excellent choice for emerging readers.
