Mr. Pine's Purple House
Book • 1965
Mr.
Pine lives on Vine Street in a little white house, just like his forty-nine neighbors.
Tired of not being able to tell his house apart, he tries various ideas—planting a pine tree, adding a bush—but each time, his neighbors copy him, and the street looks the same again.
Determined to be different, Mr. Pine decides to paint his house purple, leading to humorous mishaps and, ultimately, inspiring his neighbors to express their own individuality by painting their houses in unique colors.
The book, first published in 1965, is beloved for its gentle humor, simple language (using only about 175 words), and its message about the value of being yourself.
