The Pink Nana: From Stories on the Front Steps

By Joy LaFrance Youngs

The Pink Nana is a story about a little girl by the name of Little Pickles and her love for her best companion, her dog Clumpy. She also loves her Pink Nana and never goes anywhere without it. Although Clumpy does everything to please Little Pickles, he is not willing to wear a pink scarf around his neck when he takes her to pre-school in the morning. After spending way too much time in the park in the morning, he changes his mind, scampers home to find Little Pickles left without him but dropped the Pink Nana on the steps. Feeling sad, he gathers up the Pink Nana and heads off to school. Professor Skida Marooch Madooch comes by on his bicycle, ties the pink scarf around Clumpy’s neck, and they rush before the school bells ring to give Little Pickles her Pink Nana. It doesn’t matter anymore that Clumpy is embarrassed because of the pink scarf; he just wants to make Little Pickles happy again. Her face lights up when they arrive, all is forgiven, and they both realize how much they love each other forever and ever.

This is the third book in a series titled Stories on the Front Steps. This story is a continuation of characters and their adventures. The premise of Stories on the Front Steps is that when the author was a child, her father told stories to her and her siblings every evening on the front steps. Her father was blind and so instead of books with pictures, the children listened to his stories with the funny characters and used their imagination as to just what they looked like.
