Pascaline the little pink bat loves to go shopping! There are so many amazing things to buy, if only her mother would get them for her. But one day, Pascaline has a meltdown that leads to an adventure—and gives her a whole new view of what the best thing ever REALLY is.
Reviews
As with her other books, Alemagna utilizes fluorescent colors to a marvelous degree. That pop of color really draws your eye to Pascaline as she makes her way across pages of natural brown and green tones. There also isn’t a parent alive unfamiliar with what happens when a child melts into 'a pile of gloop" on the floor of a store. I’m not even certain that that’s a metaphor when you experience it firsthand. A can’t miss title about a literal meltdown.

[With] charming illustrations, rendered in watercolor, pastel, pencil, and fluorescent pink crayon… The adventure is enjoyably surreal, and the conclusion is heartwarming… Sweet storytelling.
— Kirkus Reviews
Alemagna’s illustrations are magical and will win over young readers quickly… She’s a character many children will relate to easily… A delightful delve into the experience of parents and children who get the 'gimmies' in public.
