This sparkling New York Times bestselling picture book from Victoria and Elizabeth Kann celebrates all things pink while showing readers that being yourself is the best of all.

Pinkalicious loves all things pink. From fairy dresses to cotton candy to bubblegum. Most importantly she loves eating pink cupcakes. Mommy and Daddy warn her not to eat too many, but Pinkalicious can’t help herself. They’re just too good! But when Pinkalicious eats one too many, she turns pink herself! What will she do?

Pinkalicious is the first picture book starring Pinkalicious and her family. She stars in six more picture books—Purplicious, Goldilicious, Silverlicious, Emeraldalicious, Aqualicious, and Rubylicious—as well as I Can Reads, doodle books, and more!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2–Pinkalicious eats so many pink cupcakes that she wakes up the next morning with pink skin and hair. The color just won't wash off, and the doctor diagnoses her with Pinkititis and tells her to eat green food to get better. Still, when her parents aren't looking, she sneaks just one more treat–and turns red. Startled, she starts to choke down her veggies and finally returns to normal. When everything seems okay, Daddy asks what happened to the other cupcakes, and Pinkalicious's little brother bounds into the room with one in hand, happily showing off his new pink skin. The final Pink-a-boo! is sure to garner smiles. The computer-generated collage pictures are bold and appealing and will draw readers into the story. Although the main character is a bit obnoxious, children will be amused by her obsession with pink sweets. Reminiscent of David Shannon's A Bad Case of Stripes (Scholastic, 1998), Kann's lighter confection is a pink lover's dream come true.–Erlene Bishop Killeen, Fox Prairie Elementary School, Stoughton, WI

From Booklist

K-Gr. 2. A little girl recounts her rainy-day adventure with pink cupcakes, which she ate and ate until she turned pink herself. "I'm Pinkerbelle!" she sings, crying tears of delight as she admires her raspberry-hued complexion. Her mom takes her straight to the doctor, who prescribes lots of green food. But she cannot resist another cupcake or two, and her delicate pink skin tone deepens to an angry red! Horrors. She proceeds to choke down everything green she can find (relish, brussels sprouts, grapes, even a cup of acid-green tea). Just as the formerly "pinkalicious" girl returns to normal, her little brother, now quite rosy, shouts "Pink-a-boo!" The digitally created artwork, featuring busy collage elements and big-headed, vacant-eyed figures, won't win any awards, but the fun premise (and cotton-candy-hued, glitter-dusted jacket) will guarantee an audience. Pair this with David Shannon's A Bad Case of Stripes (1998). GraceAnne DeCandido

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.

I bought one for a 4 year old & one for a 3 year old. It’s now the 4yr olds favorite book, but the 3yr old may have to listen to it again to enjoy it more. The lesson in the book is that eating too many pink sweets may make you turn pink, however, eating your veggies will bring back your normal healthy color.

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".

This is my 4-year old daughter's favourite book. She knows it off by heart. It was bought as a holiday treat because she liked the cover. I wasn't expecting much of it - I thought it was just trading on little girls' love of all things pink, but was pleasantly surprised. It is funny, witty and well written and I love the retro feel of the illustrations. We already have the rest of the series lined up for birthday and Christmas presents.
