Brian Pinkney’s Time for Kenny is simple, direct, and pitch-perfect for
emerging readers. This
vibrant, family-oriented picture book is full of boundless energy, action, and
unlimited love. A timeless choice for fans of Laura Vaccaro Seeger, Christian
Robinson, and Oge Mora.

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, and 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.
