Publisher Description
In this happy eBook with audio, Madison loves pink to the limit!
Madison loves pink. In fact, “pink” was her very first word, so it was no surprise to anyone when she grew up to embrace pink with a passion: her room, her clothes, even the mashed potatoes at her birthday dinner were all pink, pink, pink.
But then Madison realizes that she has taken her love for pink a bit too far. What about her favorite brown bear, her red truck, her green balloon? Pink is great—it really is—but it needs the other colors to shine, and so does Madison!
With simple, relatable text, playful illustrations, and audio accompaniment, this kindly cautionary tale will charm enthusiasts of all colors of the rainbow.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Think pink" is the mantra of Madison, a girl who can't get enough of her favorite color. From a babbling baby ("Pink!" is her first word) to a youngster choosing her wardrobe and decorating her bedroom, Madison never considers alternate hues. But to this heroine, the color is more than a mere matter of taste; it embodies feelings, too ("But her pink walls and pink ceiling were lonely without a pink bedspread, pink sheets, and a pink pillow"). Readers will be hard-pressed to find a page on which the word or color pink does not appear nearly ad nauseam. Ingram's (Boing!) illustrations in muted tones initially balance out this overabundance a hot pink party dress tempered by a pale pink birthday cake, for instance. But once Madison makes her birthday wish "that everything in the world was pink," nearly all of the remaining pages themselves are fluorescent pink, indicating a passion that has turned to obsession. Images of Madison appear in lighter and lighter strokes, until the heroine is practically invisible and, finally, very frustrated. Debut author Feiffer's ending feels somewhat contrived, but pink-obsessed girls will enjoy this tale, and the message will be familiar to parents whose children move from one interest du jour to the next. Ages 3-6.
