Format:Hardcover
This is a fantastic book about being different and being accepted. It is the story of Patrick the penguin who wakes up one day and has turned pink. He finds it hard being a pink penguin so goes in search of other pink birds, specifically flamingos in Africa, but he finds out he fits in even less there. So he returns home to Antarctica and discovers that being different is not so bad after all.
I was originally attracted by the hilarious cover of this book, and both the story and illustrations are wonderful. It is one of those fun books to read and look at. I think it would be fun to share with most children, and they will learn a lesson from it also. Pink! is an excellent read.

Very nice book from Lynne Rickards
The story and the graphics are lovely.
It's a bit of a gender-targeted story tho. More for boys than for girls, but not unusable if you have a girl...
" But ... boys can't be pink!"

This story is absolutely wonderful and adorable! The illustrations are eye-catching, and the characters are very relatable! Thanks, Lynne Rickards, for creating such a touching story that my pink-loving little guy enjoys so much.

Review from Books That Heal Kids
15 May 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book has such a wonderful message in it about being yourself and remembering to accept others. We can get so caught up in physical differences and maybe to the point where we start seeing it as a negative thing which often can lead to bullying. I bought this book to use with the K-2 grades in our school. I also bought a pink penguin puppet on amazon to go along with the book. It has a simple message and I HIGHLY recommend the puppet.
