Customer Reviews

Wonderful book especially if your child loves the color pink!

My daughter's favorite color is pink so she loved this story about a girl who lives on a pink planet and only sees the color pink. It is a fun book that teaches the appreciation of colors and also has a great rhyme.

WELL DONE!!!! WHAT A FUN NEW BOOK!!!

This is such a great book! Though it is probably geared more for a little girl than a boy, my son absolutely loves it! I can read it to him again and again and it makes him grin from ear to ear with excitement each time. The rhymes are fun to sing aloud, and the story teaches the beauty of diversity. This book is destined to become a classic! I can't wait to see what the Hobbies have in store for Priscilla next!

Great book!

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!

Delightful New Children's Book

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.
