Pinkalicious is the story of a little girl who bakes pink cupcakes with her mom. She loves pink and loves her pink cupcakes. She eats so many of them that in the morning when she wakes up she is pink! Her mother is worried and calls the doctor. When she goes into the doctor, he tells her she has a case of pinkititis. The only way for the pink to do away would be to eat green foods only. She did not care. She wanted to stay pink and be a pink princess. One night she was craving a pink cupcake. She found them on top of the fridge and ate one. The next morning when she woke up she was a deeper shade of pink. She was more red! She did not want to be red. There was only one thing to do. Eat lots of green food. She went into the kitchen and ate as much as she could. The next day she was back to her normal color, but her brother had eaten a pink cupcake and was now pink!
Pink was not my favorite color as a kid, but I still loved it because it was a girl color. I can see this being a book that little girls loves simply because most girls like the color pink. I thought the idea of the story was very cute. I also thought the title Pinkalicious was very clever and creative. The pictures are colorful and fun for kids. My only problem with this book is that it is very geared towards girls. There are books that are going to be geared towards boy as well, but I do not know if I would want to include it in my library.
This book would be good for first and second graders. I think the ended of the book is important for kids. It teaches them that it is important to eat their vegetables if do not want their skin to turn pink. Hopefully it does not scare kids from eating pink good thought!
