Pinkalicious is about a little girl whose favorite color is pink! She eats so many pink cupcakes that she turns pink. She was told that she could not have anymore cupcakes but she took one without her parents knowing. The next morning when she woke up she was red. She had to go to the doctor and was told she couldn't have anymore pink food! Instead, she had to eat lots and lots of green vegetables to get back to her normal self.I loved this book! It was very cute and fun to read to the children in my class. They too loved the book and shared many laughs throughout it. The illustrations were cute and very colorful on every page.Classroom extension idea #1: The children could come up with their own short story about them and their favorite color. Have the children follow 3 simple guidelines. They should pick their favorite color, write about the foods they ate and the things they did that involve that color, and finally tell what they did to get back to their normal color.Classroom extension idea #2: Make a chart with the class of their favorite vegetables and their least favorite vegetables. To go along with that, the teacher could bring in some vegetables for the children to have as a snack (baby carrots, broccoli...etc.).

This is actually one of my best friend's favorite books because she loves the color pink too! This story is a very cute Modern fantasy book because the main character actually turns pink from eating too many pink cupcakes! The plot is not something that would ever happen in real life, but it makes sense in the book of why she did in fact turn pink. This is also an excellent modern fantasy book because all the events, such as her eating more vegetables to get her back to her normal self, are made believable through the text and the illustrations.Level: PrimaryStars: Character

In this story, a girl and her mom make pink cupcakes. The girl eats too many cupcakes and the next day she is pink. The doctor tells her to not eat anymore pink cupcakes, but she does anyways. Then she turns red, so she eats all the vegetables she can find. The next day she wakes up being herself again.I thought this story was really cute and little girls would love all of the pink.In the classroom, I would teach my students that there needs to be a balance between healthy foods and sweets. Also, I would teach them how important it is to follow the doctor's orders.

Yes, Pinkalicious is a complete brat, but she learns a hard lesson from not listening to her parents and being sneaky. I read this out loud to numerous classes and even the boys enjoyed the story. (she does have a brother in the story) It does enjoy healthy eating after her over indulgence of yummy pink cupcakes. Fun read for those little girls in love with the color pink!

This book is about a young girl who loves the color pink, especially pink cupcakes. When she eats too many of them, she ends up turning pink! The doctor tells her to stop eating the cupcakes and start eating green things, such as vegetables. This story helps readers to learn about a healthy diet and healthy foods to eat instead of junk food and desserts.

This book teaches kids that it is alright to whine to get what you want, to get upset when your parents tell you "no," and to disobey your parents if they don't let you do what you want. It promotes eating healthy as a gross, "icky," negative thing, where one needs to plug their nose and choke down vegetables. All in all it teaches children horrible manners.

A young girl loves the color pink. One day her mom was making cupcakes and wanted the little girl to help pick out what color to choose. She chooses pink of course, her favorite color. After consuming way too many pink cupcakes she wakes up all pink. After visiting the doctor her mother feeds her only green things to eat. She pretends to eat the green vegetables. Later on she sneaks into the kitchen and eats another cupcake, soon after she turns red. Not wanting to be red she eats nothing but green things and returns to her normal color. In the classroom: story time, listening skills

made pink cupcakes, little girl turned pink from eating too many. Got pinkatitous. helps kids learn to eat healthy.

Genre: Fantasy because Pinkalicious physically turns pink from eating too many pink foods. She is told if she eats green food, she will turn back to normal. It is obvious this is not possible in reality.

I liked "Pinkalicious" by author and illustrator Victoria Kann and author Elizabeth Kann. I liked the illustrators use of mixed media that built detail into places like Pink's Mothers kitchen and the vivid use of colors like and pinks and purples that emphasized the consequences of Pinks inability to control her impulses. I thought the story was clever and enjoyed the restatement of the Mother's cry of "you get what you get and you don't get upset" which seemed to emphasize the theme of the story that Pink's decisions lead to her getting exactly what she wants only to find that it may not be worth it. I liked that this was the big idea of this story, and that we see the consequences in comic and exaggerated outcomes.

Can you guess what this book is about? A little girl who loves PINK! She wants to only eat pink candy and then she begins to turn pink! She is brought to the doctor by her parents and he suggests she eat GREEN vegetables which she finds gross! She sneaks another pink treat, and becomes dark pink (almost red!) She ultimately comes to the conclusion that vegetables aren't all that bad! One problem.. her little brother now loves pink food... Uh oh!

Pinkalicious is a little girl who is obsessed with the color pink. Pinkalicious only wears pink things, plays with pink things, draws with pink things, and her room is all pink. When Pinkaliicious goes to school other the other girls make fun of her for liking the color pink and Pinkalicious goes home and cries. She decides to no longer like pink because she wants to fit in. She even gets vanilla ice cream instead of her favorite Plum Pink Perfection. One day Pinkalicious goes to school and notices a girl drawing a blue cake. She goes to talk to the girl and suggest she adds pink. She learns the girl also likes pink. Pinkalicious learns everyone likes different things but that's what makes everyone unique. Pinkalicious returns to loving pink.

Great story especially for those girls who love pink - I'm renewing this book at the Library!

[juliekessler1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I liked this book because I thought it was very cute. The main character and her mother bake pink cupcakes and the little girls eats a lot of them and then she turns pink! I think many young girls would love this book because it would make them laugh. However, I do not see many young boys wanting to read this book. The little girl’s parents tell her not to eat too many or else she will turn pink, but she did not listen to them. The message of the story is to listen to your parents because they know what is best for you. I like this message for young students because this is when students can start not wanting to do everything their parents tell them to do. Overall I thought this book was good, but the concept did not strike me as well as some other books did.

One of my 4 year old daughters favorite books. She loves the color pink and it gives a good moral lesson.

[2hokies · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I had to read this to my child 20,000 times. based on only that, this merits 5 stars.

[danusia_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

So girls will check out this book because it is pink and glittery and the little girl is rude to her parents, eats too much sugar, hangs from the chandelier and finally turns bright pink! (Her punishment for being greedy) Wow! Great storyline (insert sarcasm here). The illustrations are awesome though, they totally make the book. Can you say "Bad Case of Stripes"?

Pinkalicious by Elizabeth and Victoria ConnAudio book. Little girl is obsessed with the color pink. Rainy and too wet to go outside so they make pink cupcakes.She has her mom add more pink coloring. They also frost them with pink frosting.I lost track after 6 how many she ate and she wants more. Dad says she's had enough. Problem is when she woke up she had turned pink...A bath didn't take the pink out of her hair or skin. The doctor might have the solution....but she doesn't quite do what he says.... and her brother does not either...I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

A little girl eats so many of the pink cupcakes she and her mother bake on a rainy day, that she turns pink. At first she enjoys being pink and tries not to change back, but then she takes it too far and ends up RED. This wont do so she eats her greens so she can turn back into a normal girl.

It's a fun, silly book that definitely has a lesson about over indulging here. The book is as vibrantly colored as it sounds like it should be and overall extremely enjoyable.

Between this and Double Pink by Kate Feiffer, that makes TWO books in 2006 about little girls that turn pink. I don't love this one. The text seems longer than it needs to be and silly, but not in a good way.

[megjwal · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Pinkalicious is a playful picture book about a little girl that makes pink cupcakes with her mother on a rainy day. She loves the cupcakes and continues to try to eat more and more. Her parents try to tell her no, but she does not listen and eats more. When she wakes up the next day she turns pink from eating too many cupcakes.I love this story because my favorite color is pink. It is also a cute way to show children how important it is to do what they are asked when an adult tells them something to do.I would use this with preschool and Kindergarten children. I would do a lesson on colors simultaneously with a lesson on listening. I would ask the children what colors they saw in the story and what the little girl should have done so she would not have turned pink.

[sedelia_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This story has a cute premise. It is rhythmical and full of wordplay that I thought was fun. There are a lot of words that can incorporate the word pink! And the pictures have a lot of color, which was nice. However, this isn't my favorite book. The main character is incredibly bratty and hasn't really learned her lesson by the end of the story. I'm not worried about kids taking that the wrong way, though. They know what's bad and what's good behavior. From personal experience, they recognize that the girl isn't behaving like she should. But I personally like to have a strong lesson in children's books, and this one just doesn't fulfill that. I would have liked to see more consequences of the little girl staying pink, since there is only one time that it really backfires on her.Like I said, this is a cute story. Children who love the color pink will especially like it. But be warned, they will most definitely beg you for pink cupcakes by the end of the book.

Another popular book with little girls, this one involves a girl who eats a few too many pink cupcakes. Not quite Fancy Nancy in my book, but still very cute!

I didn't particularly care for the storyline or illustrations.

[librarianryan · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I know these books are incredibly popular and maintain their popularity with a tv show, but after reading the first book, I’m not sure I get it. All i see is a whiny child that does not like to listen, and turns herself pink in the process. Then red. She doesn’t do what she is told, and only does so under protest, and then complains. I don’t get it. But on to the next on.
