Synopsis

Pink.
PINK.
PINK.

Madison loved pink. Wholly, completely, deeply, truly pink. Is there any other color in the world? No -- never. What for? Did there ever need to be?
Day by day, Madison begins to create a totally pink world. What could be more perfect? Perfectly pink! But something is missing....
Then Madison remembers her favorite brown bear, her red fire truck, her green balloon. Pink is nice -- it really is -- but it needs the other colors to shine, and so does Madison! What is she to do now?
This delightful first picture book by Kate Feiffer illustrates the age-old adage -- be careful what you wish for, as it might come true. Complemented by Bruce Ingman's inspired artwork, Double Pink will charm enthusiasts of all colors of the rainbow.

From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 3–When Madison decides she likes something, she likes it a whole lot, and her favorite color is no exception. Pink walls, pink clothes, pink toys–too much is never enough. Eventually, her signature shade of pink is literally all over everything, and Madison is forced to acknowledge that she may have taken things too far. Feiffer's simple text reads easily, and Ingman's playful acrylic-and-ink paintings take a light approach to this look at childhood obsession. If nothing else, the artist's liberal application of a violent shade of shocking pink makes a powerful artistic statement about overkill. Lots of kids have a signature shade or motif; whether they're into fire trucks, fairy princesses, or purple dinosaurs, young readers are likely to identify with Madison, and a few might even be tickled–well, you know.–Catherine Threadgill, Charleston County Public Library, SC
