'Lily loves all things pink-her boots, her bicycle, the food she eats - but she has no one to share them with. She begs an assortment of animals to play with her, but none of them is quite right. The snail is too slow, the chicken is too silly and the goat eats her clothes. Then along comes a perfect friend … who is perfectly pink, too!'

Holmes , Jonathan Bentley (illustrator), Surry Hills : Little Hare Books , 2009 Z1573220 2009 single work picture book children's 'The narrator of this story assumes that Duck both loves and needs him. But when Duck goes missing, things like playing in the bath, story time and even chocolate cake lose their appeal. Great is the relief when Duck is discovered under a cushion but even greater is the discovery that the narrator needs Duck just as much as Duck needs him!' (Publication summary)
