Editorial Review
It's purple Pinkalicious!
Pinkalicious loves the color pink, but all the girls at school like black. They tease her, saying that pink stinks and pink is for babies. But Pinkalicious doesn't think so…that is, until her friends stop playing with her. Now Pinkalicious has a case of the blues. But could she ever turn her back on her favorite color?
In the follow-up to the bestselling Pinkalicious, a young girl remains true to herself and discovers that pink isn't only a pretty color, but also a powerful one.

Pinkalicious was great. A great story about a girl that loved pink.
This book, in my husband's opionion, should not even be donated to Goodwill.
The entire book is negative (with lots of mean girls and dressed like 'punks'), until the last page, when one girls wants to support linking purple.
Do NOT buy.

Awful 2008-07-06
Mocking, peer pressure, self doubt, and name calling are just a few of the gems you'll find in this follow-up to the charming Pinkalicious. Some will say that these are issues that kids face. Yes, true. . . so put it in a chapter book for older children NOT a picture book that's read to three- and four-year-olds. I know that publishers are keen to exploit the popularity of book franchises (Bear Snores On, Fancy Nancy, Harry Potter, etc.), but to put something like Purplicious out on the market in order to cash in is just plain wrong.
HORRIBLE and NEGATIVE book! 2008-07-05
We bought the book Pinkilicious and absolutely loved it and thought purplicious would be a good addition however we were very disappointed when the entire book with the exception of 3 pages were positive. It was very negative and had a horrible message for kids. I would NOT buy this book. Actually, after buying it, I had to throw it out b/c I wouldn't even give it to someone as it's so negative.
It's really disappointing b/c Pinkilicious was so well written. I hope the author reads these comments as construction criticism.

Horrible book to read to little girls.... or to anyone for that matter. Why write a book that has such negative tones? How did this thing get published anyway? I would not recommend this book to anyone.
Not Appropriate for Preschool Age 2008-07-25
My four-year-old daughter loves Pinkalicious and so do I. I thought Purplicious would be just as cute, but I was very disappointed when I read this book. It depicts girls being very mean to each other and Purplicious doesn't know how to handle it. She writes depressing notes in her journal cries because she feels all alone. My husband refused to read it again to her and I had to hide the book and eventually get rid of it.
COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE 2008-07-19
My 5 year old daughter thoroughly enjoys Pinkalicious. So I got very excited when I saw Purplicious--my daughter's favorite color. Unfortunately, I did not preview it beforehand. Pinkalicious was delightful, how bad could the sequel be? Boy was I wrong. My daughter and I began reading Purplicious and I could not believe how negative and mean spirited it was. After the first few pages, I kept thinking, "It's got to get better very soon." But it didn't. I finally stopped reading it to her mid-story and had to apologize for the totally inappropriate book. I promised her another book and returned Purplicious.
Huge disappointment 2008-07-19
Loved Pinkilicious....sat down to read this one with great anticipation and what a let down. A bummer of a book. Kids making fun of each other and calling pink a baby color, and a color for sissies. Ostracizing the little girl becuase she likes pink..then she gets the blues all because someone thinks black is in, pink is out and because of this she has lost all her friends....please my kids want to read a fun,creative and inventive story and this is not any of those things. It is a book of mean kids making fun of a little girl because she paints happy pictures and likes pink. I agree with all the one star reviews...you keep hoping it will turn around and it never does till the last page when she meet a friend who likes purple but by then you are so dissapointed. They should have called the book "blackugly". My little girl loves pink and I really,really regret not pre reading this book. She is 5 and doesn't need to think there is anything wrong with her love of pink...her pink room, her pink dresses, her pink everything. She's a happy little pink princess girl who likes feminine frilly pink things not a goth child dressed in black at 5. Sooooooo dissapointing!!!!!
ABSOLUTE DISAPPOINTMENT....DO NOT BUY. 2008-07-11
A consistent negative life lesson throughout the book. I was amazed as I read the book...continually waiting for it to turnaround. Never did. And, what about the color purple...mentioned only in the last pages? My 3 and 6 year olds were so confused and sad because they truly loved Pinkalicious. I can't believe this made it past the editors.
Mean-spirited 2008-07-09
My daughter received this as a gift for her 3rd birthday. I should have read this myself before reading aloud to her. It is very mean-spirited and definitely not suitable for a 3-year-old (I do realize it says ages 4 - 8). The name-calling and shunning is a reality with girls in school, but this book is written for kids in the 3 - 5 year range, and in my opinion is too juvenile for ages 7 -8, yet too mean-spirited for 3 and 4 year-olds. Why introduce children who have not experienced teasing and torment to it through a book, when reading with your child should be enjoyable.
