Bookroo's summary

Explore the unexpected world of pink creatures with zoologist Jess Keating. From monster slugs to intelligent dolphins, this book challenges the notion of pink as merely pretty. Dive into a vibrant journey where pink is the color of the wild and weird. Will you ever see pink the same way again?

From the publisher

It’s Pinkalicious meets Fear Factor in this nonfiction picture book introducing the weirdest, wildest, pinkest critters in the animal kingdom! Some people think pink is a pretty color. A fluffy, sparkly, princess-y color. But it’s so much more. Sure, pink is the color of princesses and bubblegum, but it’s also the color of monster slugs and poisonous insects. Not to mention ultra-intelligent dolphins, naked mole rats and bizarre, bloated blobfish. Isn’t it about time to rethink pink? Slip on your rose-colored glasses and take a walk on the wild side with zoologist Jess Keating, whose other books in the World of Weird Animals series include What Makes a Monster? and Cute as an Axolotl. A New York Public Library Best Book for Kids, 2016 “The 2016 Ambassador to Young People’s Science and Nature books is unquestionably the blobfish.” –Shelftalker “Readers will never look at pink the same way.” –Publishers Weekly
