Product Description

Pink, pink, pink. More than anything, Pinkalicious loves pink, especially pink cupcakes. Her parents warn her not to eat too many of them, but when Pinkalicious does . . . she turns pink! What to do?

This sparkling picture book, filled with such favorites as pink bubble gum, pink peonies, pink cotton candy, and pink fairy princess dresses, celebrates all things pink while showing that being yourself is best of all.

1 out of 5 stars Horrible Book   July 13, 2008
A triumph of superficiality and small-mindedness, only buy this book if you don't even remotely care about raising a thoughtful child with decent values.

3 out of 5 stars Cute with a little tweaking   June 3, 2008

We received this as a gift, and my 3 year old daughter honestly loves it. However when reading aloud it I recommend the following modifications:

- Skip the embellishments about how gross the vegetables are. We just say she ate her brussles sprouts, green beans, etc. and we point at all of the green foods on the page that my daughter eats.
- We also say "NO, PINKALICIOUS!" when we see her standing on a tower of furniture to reach the cupcakes on top of the refrigerator.
- I also usually mention that WE don't eat 6 cupcakes like Pinkalicious does because that is TOO MANY!
- And it is not really possible to swing from the chandelier

The book has a few bothersome points like this but it is also a light and fluffy story that we enjoy. Hopefully by the time my daughter can read it to herself she will be old enough to ignore the negative messages.

We all love this story in spite of the sassy, disobedient protagonist. I edit out the rude or negative words when I read it to the kids. The other day I was shocked to find my son standing on a child's chair which he had placed on top of another chair to reach the top of the fridge (where I keep his art stuff). He definitely got this idea from Pinkalicious. Luckily I caught him before he got hurt, but I decided to put Pinkalicious away for a while...


5 out of 5 stars Very Cute book   May 11, 2008

Our 3 year old daughter just LOVES this book and I enjoy reading it to her. She has actually memorized parts of the book...The illustrations are very cute and we look at those just as much as we read the story. The idea that your child will not eat green vegetables after reading this story is just down right ridiculous. This story has action and consequence and tells it in a cute way. It has not made my daughter rude or disobedient. It has simply brought us joy as a bedtime STORY and we truly enjoy it. I would recommend it to other parents and will probably give it as gifts to friends' children in the future.
