A delightful story about embracing being different.
In the land of dinosaurs, being pink is a bit of a challenge. It's impossible to play hide n seek with your friends when everyone else is green and brown and can blend in with the forest (even the ladybirds are green). When you're pink you stand out from the crowd. Everyone can find you; there's nowhere to hide.
Pink also doesn't like being pretty and sweet.
She'd much rather be brave and smart! And good at hide n seek.
But one day Pink and her green friends get lost in the forest.
Pink decides to be brave and smart. She climbs to the top of the hill so that the adult dinosaurs can find her. Being pink turns out to be good thing after all.
This is not a new or unusual message in picture books these days. But not all are done with such charm and ease. Wild has been making picture books for so long now, she knows exactly what she's doing. She manages to keep a much used book trope fresh and beguiling. Judith Rossell's lovely illustrations add to the grace and generosity of the narrative.
A must for every preschool classroom and a wonderful affirmative bedtime story for your favourite young person.

Endearing story for the littlies, both in terms of words and gorgeous pictures. Pink is born pink, when all the other little dinosaurs are green and blue and brown. She loves her warm, sweet, distinctive colour, but when it makes her stand out and miss out on all the fun, she complains to Mum. But Mum has some very good advice...
