The Pinkalicious Picture Book Audio Collection

PreS-Gr 2—This collection includes five whimsical tales by Kann. In Pinkalicious (2006), a little girl eats so many pink cupcakes that she turns pink. By following her doctor's advice and eating her green veggies, her skin and hair return to normal. Pinkalicious is bullied for loving the color pink in Purplicious (2007) until a girl in the class shows her how to make the color purple with paint. In Goldilicious (2009), Pinkalicious is playing with her imaginary pet unicorn and it leads to an imaginary war between the girl and her brother, but it's all in good fun. In Silverlicious (2011), Pinkalicious loses her sweet tooth and asks the Tooth Fairy to bring her something sweet to eat until a new one grows in. But the Tooth Fairy is busy, so she sends Cupid, the Easter Bunny, and an elf from the North Pole. In Emeraldalicious (2013, all HarperCollins), Pinkalicious and her brother make a magic wand in a park and take turns making wishes. When the wand breaks, the siblings realize that real magic comes from love and family. Kathleen McInerney brings the characters to life with different voices that are engaging and funny. Pinkalicious fans as well as newcomers to the series will enjoy the imaginative tales about the little girl and her favorite colors.—Jenny Ventling, Greene County Public Library, OH
