Product Description
The Pink House is an illustrated story of a family's annual vacation to Edisto Beach, SC. The story is told by one of the cousins, and is a warm account of one day when all the cousins, aunts, uncles, and even Grandma, come to the "Pink House" where they swim, go fishing with Uncle Jim, hunt for petrified shark's teeth with Aunt Margaret, sing songs with Aunt Kate, read books, eat the fish and crabs caught in the surf, play games, and then go to bed to await what surprises are washed up by the surf the next day.

The Pink House is Hospitable! July 29, 2007
'57 Model (Aiken, SC)
We stumbled upon The Pink House book at a museum on Edisto Island where the pink house is. We were staying (renting for the week) in the Pink House at the time and had no idea there was a book about it! It was built in 1934 and is charming. The book was great because we got to bring it back to the pink house and share it with all our friends and family also on vacation. She really hit the nail on the head about making sure we all wore something on our feet while walking to the beach. Beware of stickers!
Fantastic Family Oriented Book February 12, 2004
Monique G. Desrochers (Winter Haven, FL USA)
Great book for reading out lound MANY MANY times as I have to my 4 year old daughter. It is a pleasant book about a family that goes to the beach and spends a week together every year. It makes the adult reading it long for a family vacation with the idealic family featured in the book - instead of the one most of us probably have. The pictures are great - We always point to the Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, or Grandma that is featured in the print. I highly recommend it and intend to purchase more of the books by this talented authour/artist.
Our child's favorite book July 26, 2000

Our copy is now worn from the nightly reading. The Pink House is our son's favorite request at bedtime. The author spins a warm and loving tale of an extended family on a beach vacation. It teaches relationships of family members and the simple wonders of the beach. The hand sketches of the aunts and uncles in their bathing suites are delightful. Because it is so true to ideal beach vacations, I recommend this book to all families with young children. We even tracked down the real house so our kids could have their picture made in front of THE PINK HOUSE.
A vivid and enjoyable trip to the beac. August 18, 1999
