 MY DAUGHTER LOVES IT!!!!!! HER FAV. BOOK!!!!!! December 3, 2008

My 3 year old loves this book December 3, 2008
My 3 year old daughter loves this book. We have read it at least 100 times at this point! The character is a little naughty which is what got her to turn pink in the first place, but it gives you a chance to laugh at her and talk about it! As far as the issue with her complaining about vegtables, they pick on veggies that kids wouldn't touch anyway like okra, brussell sprouts, olives etc. It is harmless.
Facetious and Feminine December 2, 2008
Got a picky little princess that won't eat her greens? Come-hither to the tale of "Pinkalicious", a sweet little ditty that literally illustrates "you are what you eat" when a stubborn and sneaky little girl gets in a heap of trouble, her overindulgence in sweets turning her into a pink nightmare.
Pinkalicious (the title character) is a sprightly little girl who lives a very pink existence. With a room covered floor to ceiling in roseate shades and patterns (even the outside of her house is pink!), Pinkalicious delights one evening in her mother's decision to make some cupcakes. Baked, frosted and topped with a brilliant crimson maraschino cherry, they are a bright and cheery confection that makes the mouth water.
In her greed to eat as many cupcakes as she can, Pinkalicious comes to find the next morning that it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Peering in the mirror, she sees that her skin has become as pink as the icing on her cupcakes. At first, she delights in the change but when her rosy complexion starts to cause some major problems, she is given a strict order by her pediatrician to fill her diet with green food and completely refrain from eating anything pink.
Of course, Pinkalicious is not fond of green foods (big surprise, eh?) and surrenders to temptation, eating more pink cupcakes and turning her skin lobster-red. In a panic, she finally follows the doctor's prescription for green food and is restored to her former glory.
Co-authored by siblings Victoria and Elizabeth Kann (with illustrations provided by the former), "Pinkalicious" is filled with brilliant shades of - you guessed it - PINK. Any girly-girl who loves frill, fuss and that delicate hue will delight in this book's ultra-feminine palette, Kann's illustrations spanning the wide spectrum with loads of fuschia, coral, salmon, magenta, mauve, scarlet, blush and powder pinks. Kann's style is basic and slightly pixie-ish, her illustrations giving off an elementary feel which little girls can relate to while offering them a feast for the eyes as far as color concentration.
Bottom line: "Pinkalicious" is a whimsical story to read to your "wee Pinkarella" (the Kanns's puckish terminology) if you want to encourage them to eat nutritiously or just for fun. If you're interested in more of what the Kann sisters have to offer, check out their aptly titled follow-up "Purplicious".
To each his own December 1, 2008
This is my daughter's favorite book, and I have to say, my favorite book to read to her. It's funny, cute, AND has a good story. I am strict on teaching my daughter good manners, eating healthy, and do not tolerate disrespect from ANY of my five kids. My daughter gets that Pinkalicious is rude because I've taught her that. She understands that eating too much sugar will make you sick because I've taught her that. It's still her favorite book to read because it is a fun book! Just like Bugs Bunny, Spongebob, etc. are bad roll models, but they are fun to watch! So, like I've said in the subject line: To each his/her own. If you are easily offended, don't buy the book. If you don't think it will affect your child's demeanor, have some fun! It's a good book!
Fun for her to hear AND me to read! November 21, 2008
My aunt got this book for my 5 year old daughter because her granddaughter loves it SO much! It was a huge hit for both of us! It is so much fun for me to read to her and she giggles along with it. Everything is great about this book, from the pictures to the wording to the way it flows and makes us both giggle. I've even caught my 8 year old son reading it to her!!! It's our favorite book!!!
