Pink bubblegum, pink peonies, pink cotton candy, and pink fairy princess dresses abound in this delightful book about a little girl who just can't resist one more bite of pink cupcakes. When she eats too many, she turns pink!

Does your little one have a favorite color? Not just a color that they like, but a color they love so much that they would be excited to wake up one morning and be that color? Pinkalicious does. She narrators the story of how she ate one too many pink cupcakes - against her mother's warnings - and ended up turning PINK! "My hair was the color of raspberry sorbet . . . I even had PINK tears!" The illustrations are funky mixed media images combined and colored by computer graphics. When Pinkalicious is really supposed to pop out of the page, the backgrounds are stark white, while other pages are filled with scenery made from mixed media props. For example, a building in one picture's background is actually created from a map, while a house is created from graph paper, and the slinky in Pinkalicious' room is a cut-out picture of a real slinky.

The entertainment factor of this book for little girls is quite impressive. This is a book your daughter will grab and hand to you with pleading eyes over and over. Be warned that they may initially latch on to the pink idea and start loving all things pink. However, you can certainly encourage them to think outside the bubble and pick their own favorite color. Some of the oldest color games that you played when you were a child are still fun today. For example, you can come up with the most things of a particular color, or play the 'I Spy' game in your room with colors.  Of course, be sure to make time to drive home the primary message of the book, which is the importance of a healthy and balanced diet. Pinkalicious needed to eat more green foods (or at least, less pink cotton candy, cupcakes, and bubble gum) to return to her normal color.
 
My niece Emily has been over the moon about this book since we first read it. Her favorite color was already pink, so it was a natural match. She adored the story and asked for it to be her 'finale' bedtime story for two straight weeks - until her mom 'accidentally' misplaced it for a few nights to have a respite. Emily, being the little entrepreneur that she is seemed to have realized the sequal potential rather quickly, because she started asking about when she could read 'greenalicious' and 'bluealicious.'
