By Me (Lana Kittie) Gigi in the Big City Milo's Special Words Cupcake Just Grace Pink Me Up by Charise Mericle Harper Grades PreK-2 40 pages Knopf February 2010 Hardcover     “Today is the day of the Pink Girls Pink-nic,” an annual event for mothers and daughters. Is it any wonder that Violet, a precocious pink-clad bunny, falls into despair when her mother wakes up with pink spots and is too sick to attend? Never fear; Daddy is here. Unfortunately, a quick foray into Daddy’s closet makes one thing blatantly clear - “boys are NOT pink!” But Violet draws upon her creative side and sets to work to pink Dad up. This is a cute and silly book that focuses on the father/daughter relationship. Author/illustrator Charise Mericle Harper’s other titles include When Randolph Turned Rotten, Cupcake and others. While Pink Me Up is for all fathers everywhere, it’s most fun for those tough dads who instantly turn into pink Jell-O with once glance from their littlest ladies.     web reviews   Niki Masse Schoenfeldt/2010 for curled up with a good kid's book   For grown-up fiction, nonfiction and speculative fiction book reviews, visit our sister site Curled Up With a Good Book (www.curledup.com)
