Author Description

Natalie and Sylvia masterfully create stories within stories - one with words, the other with pictures. Read the words. Then read the pictures and watch the two stories unfold side by side. See how the two parallel stories interact - each with their own unique endings. Meet Kenny, that older brother who is always trying to get his little brothers to do things that perhaps they shouldn't. Will Kenny be able to convince them to go along with his conniving plan? Kenny is that kid who crosses the line in Chef Kenny's Blender Render. You will enjoy reading this story about how Kenny's attempt to push on the boundaries backfires on him. Does he really learn a lesson from his escapades? Will he get away with his trickery? Find out who the unstated character is in Chef Kenny's Blender Render and compare him to the unstated character from the first book, SAND... on the Beach. Discussion questions and learning activities for teachers and parents may be found in the back pages of Chef Kenny's Blender Render.
