I
would like to thank NetGalley and TaleBlade for providing me a copy of this
book in exchange for an honest review.
I have been enjoying many of TaleBlade’s children’s
books and I had just recently read their newest book “Don’t Drink the Pink” by B.C.R Fegan along with artwork by Lenny
Wen and it was quite an amazing and emotional
book to read!
Every year, Madeline’s grandfather would come and
visit Madeline on her birthday and he would give her some special potions. However, Madeline’s grandfather would always
tell Madeline to never drink the pink potion.
Madeline would then start drinking the potions that her grandfather gave
her, like drinking the red potion would make Madeline breathe fire or drinking
the orange potion would make Madeline control the weather. But, when the time comes for Madeline to
finally drink the pink potion, Madeline will soon discover the true magic of
the pink potion that her grandfather gave her.
Wow! This was
seriously one of the most unique children’s books that I had ever read! B.C.R Fegan did a fantastic job at
writing this book as the narrative is told in rhymes and I loved the way that B.C.R
Fegan involved both numbers and colors into the narrative. I also loved the fact that B.C.R Fegan
made this story extremely emotional and heartwarming as it is about a young
girl spending a lot of time with her grandfather and we get to see how close
their relationship is with each other. I related so much with Madeline because
she loves her grandfather and her grandfather loves her back and it reminded of
all the times where I used to visit my grandparents. Lenny Wen’s artwork is adorable to
look at as all the characters have rounded faces and eyes and I loved how
colorful the images were as they captured the innocent and fun nature of this
story.
Overall, “Don’t Drink the Pink” is a truly
adorable and heartwarming story about the importance of family that both adults
and children will enjoy for many years!
I would recommend this book to children ages four and up since there is
nothing inappropriate in this story.
