Synopsis
It's purple Pinkalicious!
Pinkalicious loves the color pink, but all the girls at school like black. They tease her, saying that pink stinks and pink is for babies. But Pinkalicious doesn't think so…that is, until her friends stop playing with her. Now Pinkalicious has a case of the blues. But could she ever turn her back on her favorite color?
In the follow-up to the bestselling Pinkalicious, a young girl remains true to herself and discovers that pink isn't only a pretty color, but also a powerful one.
School Library Journal
K-Gr 2- Pinkalicious, the insouciant little girl who loves pink (especially Pink Passion Fruit Paradise ice cream) is back and in trouble. The girls in her class tease her that pink is passé and babyish, and that black is the new in color. Although her family tries to cheer her up, Pinkalicious almost abandons her favorite color until a new girl in her art class helps her see that pink is powerful and perfect-particularly when mixed with blue to make purple. The lively cartoon illustrations spill across the pages mirroring the protagonist's feelings as she changes from a confident, imaginative child to a sad one who believes she is alone in the world and then back to her old spirited self, fortified by a new friend and a newly discovered color. As with Pinkalicious (HarperCollins, 2006), this story will be fun to use in a color unit and has the added attraction of dealing with feelings of not fitting in, which are common in a child's life. The book is a winner for most collections.-Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA

Questionable behaviorby WestSong

January 24, 2010: I returned the book as inappropriate for my 4-year-old granddaughter. What turned me off was the little girls being nasty and snide to each other. Even though the plot resolves and ends happily, I felt that the initial nastiness introduced and modeled behaviors that would be upsetting to a young child.

January 08, 2010: My daughter absolutely loved Pinkilicious. So I purchased Purplicious without reading it first. ( My mistake) I assumed that it would be just as cute and entertaining as pinkilicious. However, Myself nor my 3 year old daughter enjoyed it at all. I thought that the word choices ( ugly, teasing, not wanting to play, name calling was a bit much for a young girl. My daughter was even a little afraid of the mean girls in black on the playground. I should have read it before purchasing. If I had I would not have bought it. I will continue to read Pinkilicious until my duaghter is ready to understand the concept of taunting and teasing, but right now I am enjoying the fact that she gets to enjoy her pleasant, easy going wonderful 3 year old life. I was dissappointed in the book.
