That's enough Pinkalicious!, her mother admonishes."You get what you get, and you don't get upset!" But Pinkalicious does get upset.
Pinkalicious loves everything pink, so when her Mom makes pink cupcakes, Pinkalicious is wolfing them down like there's no tomorrow. I see lots of one or two stars, but the overall rating is over four stars so someone besides me loves this book!
Now how did I forget about Pinkalicious? My grandchildren and I love Pinkalicious, especially this first book in the series. Skip "Pinkalicious' and go for "Fancy Nancy" a much more charming girl who loves to dress up in pink and fancy clothing and play fancy games. The puns on the word pink are cute, (like 'Pinkerbell') but that is not even close to being enough to redeem the horrid example of this naughty child. It is only when she turns red that she decided to eat healthy green food, but the veggies are described with such distaste that I am sure some children will be turned off of veggies they may have previously liked. She pretends to eat the healthy dinner then gets up in the night after her parents are asleep and steals more pink cupcakes.
When her greed causes consequences (turning her pink) her parents are properly horrified, but she is delighted and refuses to do as the doctor and her parents tell her to do. When Pinky makes pink cupcakes she eats too many and throws a fit when her parents tell her she has had enough. The party was fun with everyone in pink and lots of pink treats, but there is no way any of my sisters or sisters-in-law would put up with the behavior of this bratty little girl. We read this story as part of a "pinkalicious" party with my nieces and daughters. The little girl is naughty, spoiled, greedy, disobedient, sneaky and obnoxious. While the girl does love pink this story is far from charming. It looks like a charming story about a little "princess" girl who loves pink. The cute picture on the cover is misleading.
