Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Crystal moved from Pennsylvania to live in central Florida with her mom, best friend and fur-kids. She can often be found eating a plant based meal while carrying around her mealworm craving sugar gliders KIKI and LUCY! Her chihuahua Walter is the real life muse for the mood changing Pink and Purple Bob in her first book. Walter is a toy loving, window sill hogging, temperamental little pup! However, his personality really makes him shine! There is no one quite like him, and he is the heart of the family. Her mom is the muse of the devoted little mouse in her first book as well. Just like mom, the mouse spends all her time trying to make Pink and Purple Bob happy and finally succeeds!

Crystal always felt like an odd duckling growing up. She hopes to help her readers embrace who they are along with others and their differences. Being different is what makes us special and unique! She also hopes to help build stronger bonds between friends and family because good friends are hard to find and family means home.

This writer and illustrator enjoys entertaining her readers with unusual story plots that have surprising and delightful endings. She is currently working on her second Pink and Purple Bob book along with a magical adventure book seperate from the Pink and Purple Bob world. If you're a fan of her work, please stay tuned...there are greater surprises and adventures to be found!

Crystal is also the cover artist for another inspiring children's book called "A DOG'S KISS" by Matt Wanicur. This book is for ages 7 to 13. It's about a boy struggling with being bullied at school, who seeks comfort from his loyal dog Sammy Jo.

Kids who love animals will love this book about friendship
Both of my children 11 & 7 both enjoyed this quick yet adventurous read. My 11 year old had fun figuring out the book is about friendship. While my 7 year old was consumed with the pink and purple fashion of Bob. They both asked if there were more Pink and Purple Bob books. I think we will follow the author on Amazon to see when the next one is published. Well done!

    Pink and Purple Bob comes to us by way of Crystal Napolitano, a gifted story teller who has every confidence in her abilities, along with an astute knowledge of her audience, to bring this character to life in the best way possible.

    His love for pink and purple things becomes his life goal, and he befriends a mouse named Arlene, who joins him in his quest to find all things pink and purple, and become the happiest dog ever. But as she finds these items for him, the novelty of their friendship begins to wear thin as his attention becomes focused on those items, and nothing else. Soon, it's up to Bob to discover exactly what the most important things in life should be, before he loses his dear friend forever.

    Pink and Purple Bob is filled with lush, colorful illustrations that bring this tale to life and Ms. Napolitano's choice of words invite a need to explore a world that children will want to visit many times. This is a fantastic story that allows children to have an experience that will give them the desire to adventure through reading, to have a grand place to start reading, and to love that first character that will inspire them to read for the rest of their lives.

    Pink and Purple Bob is a great book for kids. I am a teacher and have taught 2nd, 5th and 6th grade. This book would be great for young kids and students. The illustrations are vivid and and capture the readers attention. This is a heartwarming story about two unlikely friends. I am sure that children will love the connection between Bob and the mouse, especially because the story is told using rhyme.

    Pink and Purple Bob is such a wonderful tale for kids of all ages. The colorful pages help keep children focused on the pages while the lyrical rhyming of the story keeps them entertained. The whimsical characters are both relatable and realistic. The moral of the story teaches kids to open up to new things and not limit their imaginations or their goals.

    I would recommend this book to parents of children of all ages. Perfect addition to a young library.

    Pink and Purple Bob was a very cute children book with amazing artwork. The author did a fantastic job of teaching children that friendship is more important than possessions. There were cute rhymes and a believable story. Best of all Was the after pictures of the real Bob. 5 stars all the way. A great read your child can follow along with.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 30, 2021
    The story of Pink and Purple Bob is a beautifully constructed tale demonstrative of compassion, love, understanding and friendship. From the choice of accesible language through to its spectacular illustrations and beautiful colouring, it is definitely one for your collection. I purchased this children's book for my own special little treasure based on the number of positive reviews; and certainly wasn't disappointed!

    The easy-to-follow rhyme scheme and repetition of phrases make it ideal for little ones, especially those starting to develop cognition, speech, and recognise/ verbalise their colours. My special young lady is nearly eighteen-months now, and this has become a firm favourite at bedtime; even running to collect it from the bookshelf herself! Without giving too much away, the plot has true friendship as its central theme, and serves as a valuable resource in teaching those of a young age the ability to recognise other's emotions, as well as respecting and responding to them effectively.

    What truly stuck out for me was the ending: you have a visually similar scenario to that at the beginning of the book but with a difference; again providing exciting stimulus for a little one and allowing for plenty of reflective questioning and scaffolding to aide their learning and development.

    The illustrations themselves are absolutely stunning: detailed with an attention-grabbing colour palette; and the characters have large, expressive eyes which successfully help convey emotion to children. Visually, it provides plenty of opportunities for you to engage children with in regards to colour, counting, animals and objects; an example of this would be at the very beginning, when Pink and Purple Bob is watching a few balloons pass outside his window. Without giving too much away, the characters are illustrated impeccably in a way that is realistic but not "too" cartoon-like and are therefore easy to relate to compared to many other children's books on the market (for example, my special little lady whimpers and pats the characters when they're sad, and smiles/ rejoices with a "yay!" or round of applause when the characters are happy).

    To conclude, Pink and Purple Bob is an incredibly sweet tale of compassion, love, understanding and friendship. It allows for many opportunities to teach and build upon a child's early learning, and is filled with beautiful imagery, too! We are definitely looking forward to his next adventure, and will be recommending to friends and family. Praise for Crystal Napolitano! Thank you!

    Reviewed in India on July 31, 2020
    So many dreams, so many quests and it's never a solo journey. In between all these, sometimes we forget to acknowledge what's important in our lives.
    I like Bob's story. Bob could be our own reflection.

    I'm so happy that I found this book. It's a children's book but I recommend this to everyone.
    This is the kind of book that I would love to read it to my kids (if I ever have them).
    This book is written and presented very well. It's an enjoyable read with all the colors, rhymes, and rhythm. The drawings are so beautiful and that's how I found this gem in the first place.

    I'm adding this book to my collection of pink and purple things, you should too. :)

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 2, 2020
    I really enjoyed this book, I like pink and purple myself and I have good friends just like the mouse and Bob. I liked the rhyming and the repetition, it has a good message. I loved the drawings they were terrific!!! (Review by a 6 year old)

    This book was well written, the rhymes were clean (sometimes rhymes can be awkward or forced these weren't) which makes it easier to read, the use of rhyme and repetition was reminiscent of Dr Seuss. The illustrations were cute with a nice colouration. I can easily see this becoming a favourite with young children.
