  We will begin with the book Pink Delicious and the Pirates.
• 0:28
  It was published by Harper and Imprint of Harper Collins Publishers.

  It has a copyright year of twenty eighteen and the
• 0:37
  author of our book is Victoria can. On Saturday morning,
• 0:43
  a seagull lane it on my windowsill. It had a
• 0:45
  note in its beak. The note was from my friend
• 0:49
  Aqua's a Mermini Amrmini is a miniature mermaid. Dear Pink
• 0:54
  Delicious and Peter meet me at the Hidden covidt two pm.
• 0:58
  Love and seeshe Aqua. That afternoon, Peter and I went
• 1:02
  to the cove. We brought our beach toys because Aqua
• 1:06
  loves to play Aqua Aqua, I called. I didn't see
• 1:11
  Aqua anywhere. Wow, look at that, said Peter. He pointed
• 1:15
  to a ship in the cove. There were two men
• 1:17
  on deck. They don't look like regular sailors. I said,
• 1:22
  that's because it's a pirate ship. Peter said. The pirates
• 1:26
  were yelling. Are mine are better? Yelled one y Are
• 1:31
  mine are much better? Yelled the other. I'm scared, Peter said.
• 1:37
  I shivered. I was also scared. Suddenly I heard a noise.
• 1:43
  It was a scream, and it was coming from the ship.
• 1:45
  That sounds like Aqua. I said. She must have been
• 1:48
  captured by the evil pirates. Yike, said Peter. I hope
• 1:53
  they don't make her walk the plank. I knew I
• 1:55
  had to be brave. Aqua won't to walk the plank,
• 1:58
  I said, because were going to save her. Peter went pale.
• 2:03
  What about the pirates, he asked. I looked at my kite.
• 2:08
  It gave me an idea. I shared my plan with Peter.
• 2:12
  I tried to fly my kite, but the wind was
• 2:14
  very strong. Help me, I said to Peter. He held
• 2:18
  the kite strain with me. Together we ran toward the ship. Suddenly,
• 2:23
  the kite was swept up by the wind. Kite's ahoy,
• 2:26
  I said, My kite flew into the pirates and tangled
• 2:30
  them all up, just as I had planned. Er yelled,
• 2:35
  the pirates were stuck. Peter and I waded through the
• 2:38
  water and sneaked up the ship's ladder. Peter put his
• 2:42
  buckets over the pirates' heads. Lem Me, I can't see,
• 2:47
  said the captain. Quick we have to find Aqua, I
• 2:50
  said to Peter. We looked everywhere for Aqua, but all
• 2:54
  we saw was a parrot. The parrot landed on my shoulder.
• 2:58
  Cookie screamed, Cookie. My eyes wined. It was the scream
• 3:04
  we heard before. Peter glared at me. That is not Aqua.
• 3:08
  He said, Oh dear, I said, heave ho, let's us go.
• 3:13
  The pirates yelled, what do we do? Peter squeaked. Suddenly
• 3:18
  I heard a familiar voice. Ahoy, pink Delicious. It was Aqua. Sorry,
• 3:24
  I'm late. I've been looking for you too. Aqua called
• 3:27
  up from the ocean. Did you meet my friend, Captain
• 3:30
  pink Beard? Your friend, I repeated. Ooh, blimy, said Peter. Quickly.
• 3:38
  We set the pirates free. We're good pirates, they told us.
• 3:42
  Then why were you yelling before? I asked Captain pink Beard.
• 3:47
  The first maid and I were having a disagreement, he said.
• 3:51
  The captain opened a treasure chest. A yummy smell came
• 3:54
  out of it. The chest was filled with cookies. The
• 3:58
  pirates baked the best treats on the high seas, said Aqua.
• 4:02
  What was your disagreement about, I asked. I think our
• 4:05
  new cookie should have pink sprinkles, said the captain. Well,
• 4:09
  I like purple sprinkles, said the first mate. You are
• 4:13
  in luck, said Peter. Pink Delicious is a cookie expert.
• 4:18
  We went down to the galley where the pirates made cookies.
• 4:21
  I decorated the cookies with pink and purple sprink sprinkles.
• 4:26
  You can never have too many sprinkles, I said. The
• 4:28
  pirates tasted my cookies. That's true, said Captain pink Beard.
• 4:34
  Cookies for everyone, said Captain pink beerd Now, your cookies
• 4:39
  are perfect, just the way they are, I said. Our
• 4:45
  next book is titled Pinklicious and the Sick Day, and
• 4:49
  it was published by Harper and Imprint of Harper Collins Publishers.
• 4:53
  Has a copyright year of twenty fifteen and the author
• 4:56
  is Victoria can. When the bell at the end of
• 5:00
  the day, Principal Heart handed me a letter give us
• 5:04
  to your mom. She said, ooh oh, was I in
• 5:07
  trouble When I got home. I found mommy. I waded
• 5:10
  while she read the letter. Mommy smiled, you have perfect attendants.
• 5:15
  Tomorrow you get to be principal for the day, she said,
• 5:19
  I'm very proud of you. You be. I yelled, I'm
• 5:23
  in charge. No homework. I don't know about that. Mommy said, However,
• 5:27
  you don't get to read the morning You do get
• 5:30
  to read the morning announcements and eat lunch with principal heart.
• 5:34
  After dinner, I worked on an announcer's voice. Good morning students,
• 5:39
  I said, Bravo, pink delicious. Daddy said, you must be
• 5:44
  very excited. Your cheeks are all pink. I nodded. I
• 5:48
  was excited, but I was also very sleepy. I went
• 5:52
  to bed early. When I woke up, my head hurt,
• 5:54
  my eyes itched, my throat felt scratchy. Look cute, shoo,
• 6:01
  but wheo. Daddy took my temperature. You have a fever.
• 6:05
  He said, no school for you today. He tucked me
• 6:08
  back into bed. Then I remember I have to go
• 6:11
  to school. I said, I'm principal for the day. I'm sorry.
• 6:15
  Pink delicious. Mommy said, I will make you some tea,
• 6:18
  said mommy. Daddy tried to cheer me up. He put
• 6:22
  my favorite books on my bed. Then he gave me
• 6:24
  a big hug and I went back to sleep. I
• 6:27
  woke up feeling a bit better, but I still had
• 6:29
  the sniffles. I looked in the mirror. My nose was
• 6:33
  perfectly pink. Mommy came in with pink tea. My mom
• 6:37
  used to make this for me when I was sick.
• 6:39
  She said, it's elder berry tea. I took a sip. Yum.
• 6:45
  I got to stay in my pajamas all day. Mommy
• 6:47
  brought me crowns and eye colored in bed. I drew
• 6:50
  a picture of me writing godye to school. Daddy called
• 6:54
  from work to see how I was. He told me
• 6:57
  a joke to make me laugh. Why do the pink
• 6:59
  pain to go to the doctor's office because she was pink.
• 7:03
  I giggled, but I was still a little sad because
• 7:06
  I wasn't at school. I would not be able to
• 7:08
  share the joke at recess. In the afternoon, the phone rang.
• 7:13
  It was Principal Heart. I'm home sick too. She said,
• 7:17
  when you come back, you can still be principal for
• 7:20
  the day. I felt a pink a million times better
• 7:24
  than Peter. Came home guess what I did today, I said,
• 7:29
  I colored and I read books. Mommy made me pink
• 7:32
  tea and I didn't even have to get dressed. I
• 7:35
  want to be sick, too, said Peter. Then he smelled
• 7:38
  my cold medicine. Yuck. Forget it, he said. I giggled.
• 7:43
  The next morning, my nose was a normal color and
• 7:45
  I felt all better. Your temperature is normal. Mommy said,
• 7:49
  you can go to school today. Yay, I cheered. When
• 7:53
  I got to school, I went straight to the office.
• 7:56
  I couldn't wait to tell everyone the joke about the
• 7:59
  pink panda. Good morning, I said, this is principal pink Delicious.
• 8:05
  Our next book is titled Pink Delicious Lost in Paris,
• 8:09
  and the book was published by Harper and Imprint of
• 8:12
  Harper Collins Publishers. It has a copyright year of twenty
• 8:16
  twenty four and the author is Victoria Can. We were
• 8:20
  on vacation the most pinka glamorous sitting in the world, Paris.
• 8:25
  How do you say pink and French, I asked rose.
• 8:29
  Mommy said, finding a rose colored souvenir would be pinka perfect.
• 8:33
  I said, then I will always remember Paris. What about
• 8:37
  the souvenirs Peter asked. I wanted a closer look, but
• 8:41
  the cart was moving fast. When I reached the cart,
• 8:44
  I picked up a tiny Eiffel tower. This is pink, adorable.
• 8:48
  I said, how much does it cost? Four euros? The
• 8:52
  saleswoman said, mommy. I called out, now, I have four
• 8:57
  euros please. I looked around, but I didn't see mommy. Peter.
• 9:01
  I yelled, ooh oh, I said, I must have gone
• 9:05
  farther than I thought. Where has my family? They were
• 9:08
  nowhere to be found. I was lost in Paris. I
• 9:12
  was beginning to get worried when I saw a clothing
• 9:14
  shop nearby. It was called the Boutique Rose. That must
• 9:18
  mean the pink shop in French. I love French fashion.
• 9:22
  Maybe my family was looking for me in the Boutique bonjour.
• 9:26
  I'm Belle, said the shop owner. I see you have
• 9:29
  a passion for pink like me. Bell said. She tied
• 9:33
  a pink amazing scarf around my neck. Trey Chik. Bell
• 9:37
  said that means very stylish. You must keep it as
• 9:41
  a gift. Thank you, mear C. I said, I couldn't
• 9:45
  wait to show mommy. But where was mommy? What's wrong?
• 9:49
  Bell asked, I can't find my family. I said, my
• 9:53
  chop window has a good view of Paris. Bell said,
• 9:56
  maybe you can find them. I climbed into the window. Look,
• 10:01
  said a girl standing outside. It's a live mannequin. Then
• 10:04
  I spotted something purple in the crowd. Was it Mommy's dress?
• 10:10
  I ran after the purple dress, but when I got closer,
• 10:12
  my heart sank. It wasn't mommy. I sat down on
• 10:15
  a bench by a bakery. Cheer up. The baker said,
• 10:19
  have a bag at He handed me a long, skinny
• 10:22
  loaf of bread. It gave me an idea. I stood
• 10:25
  on a bench and held the loaf up high. Now
• 10:28
  my family could spot me in the crowd. My stomach
• 10:31
  started to growl. The bread smelled yummy. I took just
• 10:34
  one bite, then another. It was so fantastic that I
• 10:39
  ate it all oops. I said, how would my family
• 10:43
  find me? Now I saw a girl with her mom.
• 10:46
  I started to cry. I missed my mommy. Beau sure,
• 10:50
  I mean lease? The girl said, are you okay? I
• 10:53
  remembered something Mommy taught me. You get lost, ask a
• 10:57
  mother which with a child for help. I can't find
• 11:00
  my family, I said, where did you last see them?
• 11:03
  Elise's mom asked in ly at the Eiffel tier. I said,
• 11:08
  that's a good place to wait for them. Elisea's mom said,
• 11:11
  we'll take you back there. I went with Elise and
• 11:14
  her mom back to the ticket line. Mommy, Daddy, Peter.
• 11:18
  I shouted, pink Delicious. Peter shouted back, we were so worried.
• 11:24
  Mommy said, I remember to ask a mother with the
• 11:27
  child for help. I said, we're proud of you. Daddy said,
• 11:32
  thank you for your help. Mommy said to Elise and
• 11:34
  her mom, you're welcome. Elise's mom said, would you like
• 11:39
  to join us for a pick nick in Paris? The
• 11:43
  sun said, As we ate our French feast, get ready
• 11:46
  for surprise, Alise said. Suddenly the Eiffel Tower lit up.
• 11:51
  It sparkled in the night. Pink. Oh wow, I said.
• 11:54
  Elise pulled out a camera. Say Paris, she said, I
• 11:58
  love my news oven near, I said, and my new friends.
• 12:05
  Our next book is called Pink Delicious, Fashion Fun and
• 12:08
  it was published by Harper and Imprint of Harper Collins Publishers.
• 12:12
  It has a copyright year of twenty sixteen and the
• 12:16
  author of the book is Victoria can Rose and Molly
• 12:20
  came over to play. Molly was having a mysterious photer.
• 12:24
  What is in there? I asked. There are pictures of
• 12:26
  designer clothing and fashion shows that I've collected from magazines.
• 12:31
  Molly explained, those are beautiful outfits. Rose said, I want
• 12:35
  dresses like that. I said, Mommy has a dress like
• 12:39
  that one in the picture. Let's look in her closet.
• 12:42
  I said, we can have her own fashion show. Just
• 12:45
  then mommy came in. What are you doing? Mommy asked,
• 12:49
  my clothes are not for playtime. We're fashion designers. I said,
• 12:54
  Please use your imaginations, not my clothing, said Mommy. Uh,
• 13:00
  imaginary clothes, said Rose. Please play in your room, not
• 13:04
  my closet, said mommy. We looked at the pictures again.
• 13:08
  I like those shoes with bows. I said. The bows
• 13:11
  look like pasta, said Molly. I have an idea. I said,
• 13:15
  we need glue. I said, let's get twist ties, said Rose.
• 13:20
  Don't forget the glitters, said Mollie. What are you doing?
• 13:23
  Asked Peter. Can I do it too? I thought about it.
• 13:28
  You can be a photographer, I said yes. He yelled,
• 13:32
  say cupcake and smile. The doorbell rang. My friend's mothers
• 13:36
  were here to pick them up. Have a seat, said mommy.
• 13:40
  The girls have a surprise for you. Are you ready,
• 13:43
  asked my friends. It's showtime. Welcome to our fashion show.
• 13:48
  Rose said, as we prayed into the living room. We
• 13:51
  use things around the house to make our clothes. I added,
• 13:55
  look at my newspaper and coffee filter pants, said Molly.
• 13:58
  The flowers on my vest cupcake liners, said Rose, my
• 14:03
  dress is made from bubble wrap. I said, click, when's
• 14:07
  Peter's camera? Bravo Roses. Mom cheered, show off your outfits
• 14:12
  and twirl. We twirled faster and faster. Paper ribbons and
• 14:16
  cupcake liners went flying. Peter got closer and closer, trying
• 14:20
  to get the perfect picture. Pop pop pop. My dress
• 14:26
  was ruined. I almost started to cry, but then I
• 14:28
  heard clapping. Marvelous. Molly's mommy said, you made a dress
• 14:34
  that can be worn two different ways, and now we
• 14:36
  can see your sparkly macaroni shoes. If you stick with it,
• 14:40
  she said, you'll have a career in fashion. I love
• 14:43
  how you use food in your designs. Oh yes, I said,
• 14:48
  I was inspired. I smiled and grabbed my sketchbook. I
• 14:52
  had an idea A cupcake dress. I wonder if I
• 14:55
  could use real frosting. Our next book is titled Pink
• 15:00
  Delicious Cherry Blossom and it was published by Harper and
• 15:03
  Print of Harper Collins Publishers. It has a copyright year
• 15:07
  of twenty fifteen and the author is Victoria Can. I
• 15:11
  woke up one morning and couldn't believe my nose. I
• 15:14
  could smell it, I could fill it. Spring was in
• 15:17
  the air. This could mean only one thing. It is
• 15:21
  time for the cherry blossom. Is it time for the
• 15:24
  cherry Blossom Festival? I asked tomorrow? Mommy said I couldn't wait.
• 15:29
  I love seeing the trees in full bloom. It was
• 15:32
  the pinkst day of the year. I'm going to fly
• 15:35
  kite at the festival this year, I said. Do you
• 15:38
  know how to fly kite? Asked Peter. I shrugged. I
• 15:41
  can try. I practiced all day, but had no luck
• 15:45
  at all. I could not get my cherry blossom kite
• 15:47
  off the ground. Keep trying, Mommy said, practice makes perfect.
• 15:53
  The next day we skipped all the way to the festival.
• 15:55
  The blossoms were more fantastic than ever. I picked out
• 15:59
  a to fly my kite. Here goes, I said, I
• 16:03
  started to run. There was a big gust of wind.
• 16:07
  That's it, I yelled more. When more the breeze got stronger,
• 16:11
  cherry blossom swirled around me. Wait, I said, I can't see.
• 16:17
  The wind stopped blowing, the pedal stopped swirling. I rubbed
• 16:20
  my eyes and blinked. I looked different. Where was I? Hello?
• 16:24
  Said a girl. My name is Secura. I'm pinklicious, I said.
• 16:29
  Come on, said Secura, the festival is starting soon. Can
• 16:33
  you help me hang these lanterns. Secura picked up a
• 16:37
  lantern with a cherry blossom on it. This one is
• 16:40
  like my name, she said, Secura mean cherry blossom in Japanese.
• 16:45
  I picked up a bright pink lantern. This one makes
• 16:48
  me think of my name too, I laughed. Soon a
• 16:51
  parade went by. There were drums, there were dancers, there
• 16:55
  were colors everywhere. Try some mo, she said, Secura. She
• 17:00
  gave me a pink rice cake filled with strawberry ice cream.
• 17:04
  I couldn't believe it. It was almost as yummy as
• 17:07
  a cupcake. I looked up at the sky and spotted
• 17:11
  kites all around. I get a little sad. I wish
• 17:14
  I knew how to fly one Secura understood. Sometimes the
• 17:18
  friend can help, she said. She picked up the kite.
• 17:21
  I held the string. We ran together. There was a
• 17:25
  gust of wind. Secura let go of the kite. It
• 17:27
  went up in the air. Keep running, she called. My
• 17:32
  legs went faster and faster. Suddenly I was surrounded by
• 17:35
  a swirl of petals. I was back in pink fill.
• 17:38
  My kite was still flying. It was soaring high. Pink
• 17:42
  wish as you did it, Mommy and Daddy cheered. Peter
• 17:46
  looked surprised. How did you get so good at this?
• 17:50
  He asked. I looked at my kite and smiled. I
• 17:53
  got some help from a friend. I said, thank you. Secure,
• 17:57
  I whispered. Her next focus titled Pinklicious and the Perfect Present,
• 18:02
  and it was published by Harper an imprint of Harper
• 18:05
  Collins Publishers has a copywriter of twenty fourteen and the
• 18:09
  author's Victoria can. Mommy and I were riding our bike
• 18:13
  when I saw something ahead that looked like it might
• 18:16
  be fun. Look, Mommy, I said, there's a yard sell.
• 18:20
  You might find a vase. I might find some pretty jewelry.
• 18:23
  Let's go find some treasures. Mommy smiled. Maybe I'll find
• 18:27
  a book for us to read together. She said, here
• 18:30
  are two dollars to buy yourself a present, said mommy,
• 18:34
  I'm Sally, said the yard, So lady, let me know
• 18:36
  if you need any help. Then I saw my friend Molly, Hi, pinklicious.
• 18:41
  Molly called, where do you think I can find some fish?
• 18:45
  Next I saw my friend Lilah. She had on a dress,
• 18:48
  a necklace, a hat, and big sunglasses. They were all purple.
• 18:53
  I tried on Lilah's feather. Boa Hello, Darling, I said,
• 18:57
  don't you just love the opera? Molly found some fishing treasures,
• 19:02
  a lot of found dress up treasures. I hadn't found
• 19:05
  anything interesting that I was ever going to find my
• 19:08
  own treasure. I needed a plan, I know, I said,
• 19:11
  I'll look for pink. All of a sudden, I saw
• 19:14
  pink everywhere. Now I had lost to choose from. I
• 19:17
  could hardly carry it all. You need this pink wagon
• 19:21
  to carry your collection, said Sally. This hat is perfectly pink. Horrific,
• 19:26
  I said, and twisted to my left. This tea set
• 19:30
  would be pink fantastic for a party, I said, and
• 19:33
  twirled to my right. Woops, Now I'm dizzy, Wow, look
• 19:38
  at that, I gasped. I saw something that was better
• 19:41
  than all the rest. It was pink perfect. It was
• 19:45
  a pink tastic music box. I know this song, I said,
• 19:49
  Mommy sings it to me. At that time, I found
• 19:52
  something amazing. I had finally found a treasure. I didn't
• 19:56
  want the tea set, I didn't want the hat. I
• 19:59
  wanted the music box, but not for me. How much
• 20:02
  is this, I asked? Two dollars, said Salie, it would
• 20:06
  be a surprise for mommy. Then I thought of a problem.
• 20:09
  Ooh oh, I said, I whispered in Sally's ear. HM
• 20:15
  let me think, said Sallie. I've got it. Sally said,
• 20:20
  take this O purse for free and hide the gift inside.
• 20:23
  Mommy will think I got the purse and won't see
• 20:26
  the present. Thanks, Sally, I said. The next morning, I
• 20:29
  got up early. I made a card that said I
• 20:32
  love you. I wrapped the present. Mommy came in with
• 20:35
  her coffee. I hid behind a sofa. What is this,
• 20:39
  Mommy asked. She had unwrapped my present and was holding
• 20:42
  up the music box. I jumped out and yelled, surprise,
• 20:46
  Look what I got for you. It's a music box. Listen.
• 20:50
  I turned the key. Oh my, it's my favorite song.
• 20:53
  Mommy said, I told you we find a treasure at
• 20:56
  the yard. Cell I said, Mommy gave me a hug.
• 21:00
  Sometimes the best presents are the ones you give. Our
• 21:06
  next story is Pinklicious Soccer Star and it was published

  Dandy gave me a new pink soccer ball. That pink
• 21:20
  ball inspired me to kick and score like never before.
• 21:23
  I couldn't wait to play the first game of the year.
• 21:26
  Our team is called the Pinksters. They are the Ravens.
• 21:30
  Pink soccer balls are for babies, said Kendra. Tiffany said,
• 21:35
  pink stinks. Play ball, said the coach. Think pink, said Rose.
• 21:41
  But I kept hearing Tiffany say pink stinks. I'll show
• 21:44
  her pink does not stink, I said to Rose. The
• 21:48
  ball came to me, I kicked it. It went too short.
• 21:51
  Next the ball went too long. Then it went crazy. Oops.
• 21:55
  I kicked the ball to Tiffany by mistake. She scored
• 21:58
  a goo was one for them and zero for the
• 22:02
  Pinksters row scored a go good job, Rose, I said.
• 22:07
  The score was tied one for them, one for us,
• 22:11
  and two minutes left to play. Then Kindra kicked the ball.
• 22:15
  The ball felled up high. I heard pink stinks inside
• 22:19
  my head. I had to get that ball. As I
• 22:22
  ran to the ball, Go Delicious galloped toward me. She
• 22:26
  scooped me up on her back. We left the park
• 22:29
  far below. We flew across the sky. We saw girls
• 22:34
  playing soccer all over the world. We flew to the
• 22:37
  pink sands of Egypt. I made a great pass. I
• 22:40
  did a corner kick to Spain. Then Zoya Rosa, a girl,
• 22:45
  said to me, that's think pink in Spanish. Cherry blossom
• 22:51
  flumed in China. The girls cheered, think pink and Chinese.
• 22:56
  She fell on. By the time we got to Italy,
• 22:59
  I forgot all about mean. Oh, Tiffany, go Delicious. Let's
• 23:04
  get back to the game, I said, I've learned so much.
• 23:07
  I think I know what to do now. I ran,
• 23:10
  I got the ball, I took aim and I kicked.
• 23:13
  I did it. I scored. The Pinksters won. Wow, good job,
• 23:19
  said Kendra. Pink said Tiffany. It doesn't sink. Three cheers
• 23:25
  for pink Delicious, said Rose. I cheered two. Three cheers
• 23:31
  for pink soccer players everywhere. Our next book is Pink

  and the author's Victoria, Can I have news, Mommy said,
• 23:48
  we are going to take care of a puppy. The
• 23:50
  Rastles asked us to puppy sit Pinky this week. When
• 23:54
  they are away. Pink and I will take long walks,
• 23:57
  chase butterflies, and play fetch. Taking care of Pinky will
• 24:01
  be Pinka Blewis, I said, happily. Pinky isn't really pink,
• 24:06
  said Daddy. She just has a pink nose. There's no
• 24:09
  such thing as a pink dog, said Peter. The next day,
• 24:12
  when the bell rang, I rushed open the door. Hello, Pinky,
• 24:16
  it's nice to meet you. I'm pinklicious, I said. Pinky
• 24:20
  didn't bark, she didn't lick my hand when I tried
• 24:22
  to pet her, she hid. Pinky needs time to get
• 24:26
  used to you, said missus Rassell. I hope Pinky gets
• 24:29
  used to me soon. I want to play with her.
• 24:31
  I said, you have to get Pinky to trust you,
• 24:35
  said mommy. There must be something I can do, I said,
• 24:38
  I trust to make friends. Pinky just hid under the sofa.
• 24:43
  She did not come out. Pinky didn't come out for
• 24:46
  a ball, She didn't come out to see your bed.
• 24:48
  She didn't even come out for a dog treat. I
• 24:50
  made her try taking Pinky outside, said mommy. I picked
• 24:54
  up Pinky and carried her to the backyard. Everything scared her,
• 24:58
  even butterflies. Worse of all, Pinky was scared of me.
• 25:02
  We went back inside, but I didn't give up. I
• 25:05
  tried to see things from Pinky's point of view. Everything
• 25:08
  looks bigger when you crawl on the floor. Poor Pinky
• 25:12
  had the blues. The next day. I got an idea.
• 25:14
  I know what I'd like to do when I feel blue,
• 25:17
  I told Pinky. Pinky watched me feel the tub. Her
• 25:21
  tail wagged. You must like bubbles too, I said. Pinky
• 25:25
  jumped into the tub. She snapped at the bubbles. Oops,
• 25:29
  Mommy's bottle of pink spilled into the tub. The water
• 25:32
  turns bright pink. Pink bubbles slashed all over. Pinky snapped
• 25:37
  at the bubbles. Pinky was very happy. When Pinky got
• 25:41
  out of the tub, she was pink. Pinky looked at
• 25:44
  her paws, then she turned around fast to see her tail.
• 25:47
  Pinky looked fantastic, she howed, and I how to. Pinky
• 25:52
  was so happy. She let me pet her, and she
• 25:55
  even let me put bows in her fur. I told
• 25:58
  my family what happened. Now, the real is such a
• 26:00
  thing as a pink dog, I said. Pinky locked Peter
• 26:03
  in the face. Oo, said Peter. I hope the Rastles
• 26:08
  like Pink. Mommy said. Pinky is happy because she is
• 26:11
  now as beautiful as her name. I said. The rest
• 26:15
  of the week went quickly. Pink and I took long
• 26:17
  walks and plate fetch. We chase butterflies too. The Rastles
• 26:21
  were surprised to see their fantastic dog. Pinky is a
• 26:25
  pink goodle. Now. I wonder if Pinky will stay pink,
• 26:29
  said mister Razzle. I gave them a bar of green
• 26:33
  soap wash Pinky. With this, she will turn back to normal,
• 26:36
  I said. Also gave the Razzles the ribbons. Pinky likes Pink,
• 26:40
  I said. Maybe Pinky just likes you, said missus Rassele. Someday,
• 26:45
  I hope I have a dog like Pinky. For now,
• 26:47
  I'm just glad I helped make her happy. This concludes
