Review

Archie Hates Pinkis a highly original picture book, taking a cat's-eye view on the matter of, well, pink. A strange subject for a book maybe, but think about it: if all the bad things in your life (flea powder, nasty medicine from the vets etc) were pink, wouldn't you have something of an aversion to it? So, it naturally follows that if your owner decides to paint the whole house pink, then you just can't stand for it...

Karen WallaceKaren Wallace and Barbara Nascimbenipull off something of a picture book coup with this unusual, quirky and downright hilarious adventure: Archie himself is a stubborn, grumpy and simply unforgettable character, and the story itself is swathed in colours (yes, mostly pink!) that assault the eye and capture the imagination, taking the reader on a journey of discovery as Archie discovers that not all that is pink is bad.--Age 3 and over--Susan Harrison

From the Publisher

Archie Hates Pink - A Sunday Times Book of the Week
The Sunday Times says: 'This is one of those picture books that works well for all sorts of readers. Children who like pink will enjoy Archie's conversion. Those who don't will be on his side, but will have something to think about. Younger children will like the story of a cat and its reconciliation with its owner who gets sad when he leaves. Adults will appreciate the book's various messages: that the world is rich and full of beauty...'
