I needed some picture books on pink. A nature book helps when winter descends in earnest.
Henry Hikes to Fitchburg
4 stars
Author/Illustrator: D.B. Johnson
Henry Thoreau and a friend wanted to go to Fitchburg. He decided to hike the 30 miles. His friend decided to work to earn the train fare.
This book has one page showing how the friend makes money and the opposite page shows Henry's hike. Both are depicted as bears. They do both get to Fitchburg. Which way was better? It's an interesting question.
The illustrations are colorful and show different things the two do during the day.

Pinkalicious and her brother are at the beach. She finds Aqua, a merminnie. Surely this little one needs a home. So Pinkalicious and her brother do their best to make or find her one.

Silverlicious

Pinkalicious has a loose tooth. She takes a cookie away from her brother and the tooth comes out. Unfortunately, it is her sweet tooth so everything tastes bad.
The tooth fairy needs to do something about this. Or does she? Is the problem really Pinkalicious?
The illustrations are good. The various stand ins for the tooth fairy do wonderful things in her room.
