Pinkalicious

This book is a delightful children's book that captures the whimsical and imaginative world of a young girl who loves the color pink. The story follows Pinkalicious, a spirited and creative character, who indulges in one too many pink cupcakes and turns pink herself! This charming tale is entertaining and imparts valuable lessons about moderation and self-acceptance.

This is the first book of the "..itious" series and and it is, by far, the best one. Very sweet tone. I must have read this book to my daughter hundreds of times. I believe it played a pivotal role in her learning to read. She was never tired of it. I would put my finger under every word, tracing them while I read. I think she followed them and memorized words. She started reading the words herself very soon. I guess we were lucky to have found a book that she never got tired of which allowed her to learn to read. I later gifted it to many different kids. I hope they loved it as much as my daughter did.

The kids love this book and ask me to read it frequently. Story flows well and it is easy to read with ‘drama’.

The copy of Pinkalicious in my classroom was loved so much that it fell to pieces and I had to replace it. It's a fun little story that kids are really drawn to and want to hear again and again. Children find a lot of humor in the trouble Pink gets into and her relatable, exaggerated child behavior (yes, including being a "bad example" with her whining and lacking impulse control, for people who get upset about that for some reason). With a not so in-your-face moral about following directions and not overdoing it, it's a fun book for a quick read.

Was not familiar with the story, but this was enjoyable read and view. Good value, kiddo loves Pink.

The girls I babysit love this book. I got it for them as a birthday gift, and they always ask me to read it to them

I was looking to have a backup for my original that I read at least twice a day to my classroom of 3 year olds and was very happy with the condition of this book.

Got a picky little princess that won't eat her greens? Come-hither to the tale of "Pinkalicious", a sweet little ditty that literally illustrates "you are what you eat" when a stubborn and sneaky little girl gets in a heap of trouble, her overindulgence in sweets turning her into a pink nightmare.Pinkalicious (the title character) is a sprightly little girl who lives a very pink existence. With a room covered floor to ceiling in roseate shades and patterns (even the outside of her house is pink!), Pinkalicious delights one evening in her mother's decision to make some cupcakes. Baked, frosted and topped with a brilliant crimson maraschino cherry, they are a bright and cheery confection that makes the mouth water.In her greed to eat as many cupcakes as she can, Pinkalicious comes to find the next morning that it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Peering in the mirror, she sees that her skin has become as pink as the icing on her cupcakes. At first, she delights in the change but when her rosy complexion starts to cause some major problems, she is given a strict order by her pediatrician to fill her diet with green food and completely refrain from eating anything pink.Of course, Pinkalicious is not fond of green foods (big surprise, eh?) and surrenders to temptation, eating more pink cupcakes and turning her skin lobster-red. In a panic, she finally follows the doctor's prescription for green food and is restored to her former glory.Co-authored by siblings Victoria and Elizabeth Kann (with illustrations provided by the former), "Pinkalicious" is filled with brilliant shades of - you guessed it - PINK. Any girly-girl who loves frill, fuss and that delicate hue will delight in this book's ultra-feminine palette, Kann's illustrations spanning the wide spectrum with loads of fuschia, coral, salmon, magenta, mauve, scarlet, blush and powder pinks. Kann's style is basic and slightly pixie-ish, her illustrations giving off an elementary feel which little girls can relate to while offering them a feast for the eyes as far as color concentration.Bottom line: "Pinkalicious" is a whimsical story to read to your "wee Pinkarella" (the Kanns's puckish terminology) if you want to encourage them to eat nutritiously or just for fun. If you're interested in more of what the Kann sisters have to offer, check out their aptly titled follow-up "Purplicious".
