Summary: Who Would Not Love "Pink?"
Review: Reviewed by Carolyn Howard-Johnson, MyShelf reviewer and columnist and award-winning author of This is the Place, Harkening: A Collection of Stories Remembered and The Frugal Book Promoter.

As the grandmother of two little girls,ages 4 and 7, who love all things pink, how could I not be attracted to Priscilla for Priscilla lives in a world of pink. She also lives in a world of Seusian rhymes and Seuss-like illustrations by Joscelyn Hobbie that fit the story and copy perfectly.

Summary: Great book!
Review: This is a great book for young girls. Even though neither of my two daughters, ages 4 and 6, care much for the color pink, they both loved this book! I agree with the other review that it is along the lines of Dr. Seuss. It's very fun to read and the illustrations are interesting (even when they are all pink!)This book will be a gift to all the little girls I know this Christmas!

Summary: Delightful New Children's Book
Review: Young Priscilla lives on a planet where everything is pink. The sky is pink, the grass is pink. Why, even Priscilla's cheeks are pink. Sure, pink is a lovely color, but when it's the only one, it can get quite boring. So, Priscilla sets out to find a new place in the world where pink is just one of many colors, and soon she is brought on a magical adventure filled with Queen's, butterflies, and colors.

In the footsteps of Dr. Seuss, Nathaniel Hobbie has created an utterly delightful new children's book filled with a wonderful verse that will hold even the most reluctant reader's attention. His wonderful rhymes are descriptive, as well as imaginative, and coincide fantastically with Jocelyn Hobbie's gorgeous illustrations which truly bring PRISCILLA AND THE PINK PLANET to life. This is a must-have book for all families, whether their children are young or old, that will ultimately go down in children's book history.
