Goodreads

This is a family-oriented picture book full of action about a preschool boy’s day. It includes four simple stories. First, Kenny must get dressed. Then, he must overcome his fear of the vacuum cleaner, learn to play soccer, and get ready for bedtime. Pinkney’s bright, action-packed illustrations of Kenny and his African American multigenerational -family compliment the simple text. It will be fun for families to share and discuss this book together. It could also serve as an emergent reader book since the text is so controlled, but the large format may prove undesirable to beginning readers.
