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.

Industry Reviews
"The 2016 Ambassador to Young People's Science and Nature books is unquestionably the blobfish." --Shelftalker

"The comical tone makes this particularly inviting, and DeGrand's cartoonish illustrations only add to the fun. A playful introduction to the kookier corners of the animal kingdom." --Booklist

"Readers will never look at pink the same way.... Keating maintains a casual tone while delivering intriguing details about each animal." --Publishers Weekly

"Bratz, Monster High, and their ilk have recently demonstrated that how much attitude pink can pack, but Nature has been onto this fact for quite a while. Keating rattles off seventeen creatures from land, sea, and air whose coloration punches a hole in pink's girly-girl image." --The Bulletin

"Pink is for bubble gum and ballet slippers, sure, but it's also for blobfish, pinktoe tarantulas, pygmy seahorses, Amazon river dolphins [etc.] . . . A map and glossary are the pink icing on the pink cake. It's clearly time to rethink pink, people." --Shelf Awareness
