WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THIS BOOK : Mr. Pinkney’s whimsical illustrations helps introduce readers to a young boy named Kenny. Kenny greets his world full of energy and with a creative imagination. He’s the heart of his family and goes through his day tackling each circumstance with all the force of an adventurous young boy. I like how Kenny explores his world to figure out who he wants to be. This story will leave young readers thinking there’s a little bit of Kenny in all of us. Nice addition to any library!
