Being Pinkalicious is pinkatastic, especially when she's accompanied by her pet unicorn, Goldilicious. Goldie is a roller-skating, kite-flying, high-jumping unicorn who will protect Pinkalicious from the evil wizardry of her little brother, Peter. Together, Pinkalicious and Goldilicious can conquer anything!
This enchanting follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Pinkalicious and Purplicious brings to life a new and magical character that is every bit as captivating as her pinkeriffic owner. With heaps of creativity and a touch of sparkle, Goldilicious glows—from horn to toe.
The star of Pinkalicious and Purplicious discovers an affinity for gold, in the form of a unicorn with a lustrous, golden mane. Even though Goldie might be imaginary (she turns translucent whenever Pinkalicious's mother is present), this doesn't stop the friends from practicing "pinkerrific pirouette[s]," riding on roller skates and playing hide-and-seek. Initially skeptical, Pinkalicious's brother, Peter, even joins in the fun. Though the pacing can feel a bit erratic, the effervescent (at times, playfully surreal) digital art and ornamental detailing offer treats for eagle-eyed readers. Ages 5-8.

October 04, 2009: This story involves the character from Pinkalicious, but this time she has an imaginary friend. The best part of Pinkalicious is how one little girl got carried away eating too many pink cupcakes, how she became pink and eventually realized she did not want to be pink. The story in Goldilicious does not send any message and is not even very interesting. There is no real plot to speak of and I was very disappointed with the book. The first two are my four year old daughter's favorites but this one is void of any meaningful story. I think Victoria Kann needs her sister to help with the writing.
