Editorial Review
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.

Cute story 
2008-05-05
This is a cute story that is similar to The Chocolate Touch in that the little girl eats too many pink cupcakes and she turns pink. We love the line "you get what you get and you don't get upset".
horrible influence!

The main character is a horribly rude little girl. Do NOT buy this unless you wish to set an perfect example of terrible behavior!
Love it! 2008-04-16
My 5 year old daughter loves pink. She was recently selected "Student of the Week" in her kindergarten class and I purchased this book to read to her class. The kids and teachers loved this book as much as we did. We took pink treats to share with the class and the kids all agreed the story and treats were PINKALICIOUS! For those of you that have thought the little girl was rude...use the book as a teachable moment for your child. Explain to your child that there are some things that you do not approve of but that this is a story and they would have consequences for such actions. There are many children's books that have children (and adults) acting in a less than desirable fashion. I think this is an awesome book. Have a Pinkalicious day!
Mixed feelings, but my daughter loves it 
2008-04-05
I had heard this was a popular book for little girls and the picture of Pinkalicious on the cover reminded me of my 3 year old daughter, so I bought it for her Easter basket.
She loves it - the pictures are beautiful and the story is silly, and after having it read to her only two times I caught her "reading" it to herself, saying words from each page that she remembered.
However, I was a little shocked when I read it the first time that Pinkalicious was impudent to her mother and sneaking food at night, but it seemed to me that she ultimately experiences negative consequences for her actions and that was kind of the point of the story. What I really didn't care for was the presentation of vegetables and other green foods as gross, but the reality is that there are lots of people (not just kids!) that feel that way, unfortunately. I do wish that part had been approached differently in this book.
Ultimately, I gave this book 4 stars because we do enjoy it, but it definitely is not what I was expecting - I may have known if I had read the reviews here first, or even taken the time to read it in the store before I bought it. If you are looking for a book with a life lesson or moral platitude, this is not for you. If you just want to have some pink silly fun, than by all means, enjoy!
Only 2 Years Old and She is Pinkalicious!! 2008-04-04
I have been reading this book to my daughter since she was 20 months old and she is now 24 months old and this is still her favorite book to read everynight before bed time!! Not to mention she can say the word perfectly to the amazement of her father. She absolutely loves this book and so do I!
Horrible Book 2008-07-13
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.

Cute with a little tweaking 
2008-06-03
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.
mixed review 2008-05-24
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...
Very Cute book 2008-05-11
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.
