Kenny is a busy little boy. This story follows him throughout his busy day. He starts with putting on the proper clothes and getting dressed in the morning then taking Granddaddy to the bus. Next back home,  he encounters the big, scary vacuum cleaner which he does not like.   It roars and eats up all of the food on the floor.  Could it eat him up!?

His sister teaches him how to play soccer  which takes him awhile, but he eventually learns how to play and score a goal. Finally, it is the end of the day and it is time to get ready for bed. The problem is that he is not the least bit sleepy. Until he finally is, but not too tired to be  read a story to.

This is a great book to read to a child since it gives the repetitiveness and routine of a day, something a small child learns and needs. It is broken into four little snippets of stories. The illustrations are colorful and can tell the story without the text.  It is a book that shows the love and support of a family as well. A nice addition to a collection.
