Priscilla loves pink and everything becomes pink when she eats too much pink porridge. She lives on a planet where everything is some shade of pink. She goes searching for a different color. She meets the Great Queen of Pink who only likes pink. Priscilla decides to change the queen’s mind and bring back all the other colors, not just pink.
My daughter is obsessed with pink...and fancy. I loved this book because it explores the idea of sometimes having "too much of a good thing". It initiated a conversation about moderation...why we don't eat cupcakes at every meal. I thought it was a cute story with an important message for children...and adults!
Priscilla and the Pink Planet is a cute little story of a Priscilla's search for some color. The story is filled with sweet illustrations and rhymes.
This is my first Priscilla book and I have to say it was pretty good. The rhyming was Seussish without being obnoxious; the illustrations likewise. It was one or two pages too long on the pink stuff descriptions but the overall message was great.
Appropriate k-2, Even if you don't love the color pink, I think you'll love this book. It is written in verse like a Dr. Seuss book. Everything in Priscilla's world is pink and, even though she likes pink, she would also like a little variety.
I love the "poetry" of this book. I bought it thinking my daughter would get the message that pink is not the only good color in the world. I think maybe, at 4, she's still too young to grasp that, but she definitely loves the book!
Priscilla explores the pink planet. Come to find out, the Queen of Pink hides all other colors. Can Priscilla figure out a way to change the Queen of Pink's spell on colors??
A great book for rhyming and using imagination!

This is by far my favorite and the best Priscilla book. With the flair of Dr. Seuss and the character that Pinkalicious wishes she was, Priscilla and the Pink Planet is a really fun book to read aloud and to look at!
This book goes out a lot at our library because of the title and color of the book! I don't love this book, but it could be used with other books about color/rainbows.
Priscilla searches for other colors on a planet with only pink! Fun, quirky illustrations and cute rhyming text makes for a fun read. My 4 year old loves Priscilla!
Anything to get my daughter to consider that there may be other colors!!Plus I like that Priscilla is a clever girl to outsmart the Pink Queen.
This reads like a good ol' Dr. Suess book. First children's book of this brother (author) / sister (illustrator) duo.
The text falls flat with me. The author was trying a little too hard to hit her meter and rhyme scheme, and some of the verses go on too long. When I read it to the nieces, I'm in the habit of skipping four lines at a time as I go along, they just grate on me that much and it just takes so long otherwise.
Honestly, if they didn't love it as much as they do, I'd rate it a star lower. I love the artwork, I think it's darling and delightful and all sorts of other great d-words - but the text just is...more

I used this book to teach a problem/solution lesson with. A girl named Priscilla lives on a planet with nothing but pink everywhere. She decides to go on a search to find any other color. She finally comes across a queen fairy whose favorite color is pink, but she convinces the queen fairy that pink cannot truly be beautiful without any other colors to compare it to. The queen fairy agrees and brings back all the colors she banished. There are also a lot of adjectives that younger first or secon...more
We love pink, pink, pink... but we love other colors too. ;-) Perfect book for us.
Cute children's book.
I'm 14, and I recommend this book for kids ages 3-8.

Great bedtime story. The girls go to sleep by the time I am finished.
Molly wanted this for the pinkness, but it was surprisingly good.
The girls really like this book. It reminds me of Dr. Suess.

I loved it.
If you have a little girl obsessed with pink, or any child obsessed with just one color, this one might alter their opinion of a world with only pink! Love the artwork and the rhyming text.
I don't like when Priscilla finds out that the butterfly got caught in the net by a bigger Priscilla. And I would not like when she gets the little butterfly out. (age 5)
A fun, well-illustrated, girl's picture book with a good message. However, it is better suited for the older girl since the story is rather long.
This is a fun read for parent and child. Has become a family favorite.
This book is a great read aloud reminiscent in its verbal scheme of the Great Dr. Seuss.
The story and the pictures were so cute in this book! I just loved it!
The writing reminded me of Dr. Seuss without the made-up words.
