I thought this book was really cute. I read it because it's a favorite among the 3rd grade girls at the school I work at. I can definitely see why. It's avery girly story about a girl who eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink. She loves pink and loves being pink. Then she goes to the park and

is attacked by bees and birds and bugs because they think she's a flower. Then she decides to sneak one last pink cupcake and wakes up red the next morning. She doesn't want to be red so she follows the doctors' orders and eats a lot of green food and turns normal again. She realizes she is beautiful just the way she is, without being pink. The story itself is a lot of fun and the illustrations are a huge complement. They are fabulous - very colorful, lots of pink, and lots of different techniques. The people in the story aren't realistic, but some of the details like the clothes, accessories, furniture are very realistic. The birds and butterflies have patterns like they've been cut out of a magazine. Overall, great story and I think it's a great book for a read aloud. Show Less

This story is the story that I read to the little girl I babysit. It's an adorable book with real world lessons as well. Although turning pink from eating cupcakes is not real, it tells that when rules are disobeyed, some consequences are not good. Another lesson that comes from the story is that

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.

This is a very humorous book for elementary school students, and they love it. It is about a young girl who has everything pink. This is more of a girly book, most boys arent really that interested in it. The illustrations were my favorite part. They are so nicely done and capture the student's

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

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
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.

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.).

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
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.

Pinkalicious is a great story about the effects of over-indulgence. The story is about a little girl named Pinkalicious who is in love with the color pink, eats way too many pink cupcakes, and ends up with “Pinkitis”—which turns her skin pink! After visiting the doctor, Pinkalicious is told

she must no longer eat anything pink, but after refusing to bide by the doctor’s warnings, she ends up eating another pink cupcake and turns an even deeper shade of pink. Pinkalicious finally decides she wants to go back to normal, so she takes the doctors advice and eats lots of greens. The story ends with a cute surprise twist that you’ll just have to wait to read to find out. This book is great for lower-elementary students and provides the opportunity to discuss exerting discipline and not always indulging in everything we want. Show Less

I loved this book, I thought it was adorable! This is a good modern fantasy book to read to children. What little girl does not dream having a pink complexion to match her pink princess dress. I think the specific motif in this category of modern fantasy would be peculiar characters and situations. It’s not everyday you get to see a little girl turn pink from eating too many pink cupcakes.
After reading the book to my second grade class I would have them open their journals and participate in creative writing. I would ask the children to write about their favorite color and what kind of food would they have to eat excessive amounts of to turn their favorite color. For a second project as class we would bake pink cupcakes and each student would get to decorate their own pink cupcake.

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.

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.
