I Love Pink! by Frances Gilbert -- ADVISABLE

I Love Pink! by Frances Gilbert, illustrated by Eren Unten. EARLY READER. Step Into Reading (Random House), 2017. $4. 9781101937372

CONTENT: G

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) -- ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

This little girl loves pink -- so much so, in fact, that she wishes her pets were pink, too. But when her wish comes true, she realizes she can't find them in her rose-colored room. Maybe not everything is meant to be pink after all...

This is an adorable early reader that would work well in a lower-grade classroom or take-home library program. There are plenty of picture clues to help with the more-difficult phrases, and many color words are reviewed in the story. The sentences are short, with very few per page, and the font is nice and large. The publisher lists I Love Pink! as an F&P level F.
