Pink Perfection,
By
This review is from: Pink! (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.

This review is from: Pink!: What's a penguin to think when he wakes up (Paperback)
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!"

By Bridget W. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pink! (Hardcover)
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.

Its about penguins so we like it, but its not great,
By Sarah Green - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pink! (Hardcover)
My daughter LOVES penguins so we had to buy this, but its not our favorite.
The basic plot is that a boy penguin wakes up one day and finds he's pink. His friends make fun of him. So he runs away from home to join some flamingos, but realizes he doesn't fit in there either. So he goes home and gives a report at school talking about his trip (which apparently makes him the cool kid). Then everything is ok. The basic message is that it is ok to be different. The story feels a little forced and could be more concise or maybe funnier (or both). The first time my husband and I read it to the kids we weren't impressed, but both kids seem to find it funny that the penguin is pink (they may be too young to really get the rest of the story). this is an ok book if you're looking for something that talks about having it be ok to be different, but its not a great penguin book (the main character could easily be a duck or a chicken or a wombat instead). For penguin books, we like A Penguin Story a lot better. |
