Pip Makes a Pink Rumpus

Big hello, little hush—and a friendship finding its own rhythm.

Pip is a cheeky galah with a big appetite for dancing. Dot, his gentle friend, likes breakfast with a little quiet. When Pip’s stomping feet send up dust and his sweeping wings bring more than one sneeze, he begins to wonder if being a good friend means changing who he is.

With warmth and playful repetition, Pip Makes a Pink Rumpus follows the pair as they listen, make room for each other, and discover a dance that feels right for both. There are tip-taps, turns, giggles, and a splendid pink crest springing back to life.

Made for preschoolers ages 3–5, this read-aloud offers a gentle way to share ideas about friendship, personal space, and different ways of being together. Its 13 illustrations bring Pip’s expressive antics to life, while the lively refrain invites little listeners to join in. A “This book belongs to” page makes it a sweet choice for a young reader’s own collection or a thoughtful gift.
