Mr. Pine just wants to be different and stand out but when he tries all the neighbors just wanna be the same. He teaches them that differences are fun!

Mr. Pine has a problem. He can't tell his house from everybody else's.
So he tries one thing, and another, but people keep copying his good ideas! Finally he gets the idea to paint his house purple, and after a few mishaps he does - and starts a trend to paint houses all sorts of strange colors. But
It's a cute story, though a little wordy for a read-aloud.
