Pinkalicious

Kann, Victoria, and Elizabeth Kann. Pinkalicious. New York: HarperCollins, 2006. Print.

Recommended Age: 4+
Format: Hardcover


This story tells the story of Pinkalicious. On a rainy day she and her mom made super pink cupcakes, with extra pink. She ate so many that when she woke up the next morning her hair, her skin, and even her tears were pink. Her mother took her to the doctor, who told Pinkalicious that she could not have pink food for a few days and that she needed to eat green foods to go back to normal, however, Pinkalicious wanted more pink cupcakes. After her parents went to bed, she sneaked just one more pink cupcake. The next morning she was no longer pink, she was red. Pinkalicious then eats any green foods she can find and returns to her normal coloring, just in time for her brother to enter the room with his newly pink skin.  The book is colorful and full of the color pink. Some of the images are silly, at one point Pinkalicious is swarmed by birds and butterflies, and the illustration of that is humorous. This is a long story and more suitable for preschoolers and older.
