Mr. ChickenBiscuits

Robert (Bob) Kennedy (aka Mr. ChickenBiscuits) writes and illustrates the popular Sam the Dog picture book series for young readers ages 4 to 8, with 25+ published works to date.

Bob knows this age group well, having taught Sunday School for over 25 years. He first wrote about Sam for his younger siblings as they learned to read, later sharing the same stories with his sons and now seven grandchildren (an invaluable yet brutally honest focus group).

Bob’s stories and illustrations reflect early influences from classics like Charles Schulz’s Snoopy and Hanna‑Barbera’s Yogi Bear, shaping the gentle humor and expressive characters in his books. Having lived and worked in France with his family for three years, he also publishes titles in French and Spanish with the help of two gifted native‑speaking colleagues.

A retired electrical engineer and marketing manager, Bob lives in Nashville with his wife Dana and their two dogs. To contact Bob or explore (free) fun activities for kids, please visit mrchickenbiscuits website (.com).
