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

October 05, 2009: The three books, pinkalicious, purpolicious and goldylicious are a great collection. Illustrations are exceptionally good and my daughter enjoy enormously reading them every time.

September 13, 2009: My daughter loved "Pinkalicious" so much that I bought the two other books. I don't think "Purplicious" is appropriate for the same ages as "Pinkalicious" and "Goldilicious" and is not as good of a book. I really don't like the assumption that all girls are just going to be snotty and that this is how life is. My daughter is fascinated and somewhat scared by the "mean girls" because they are so different than her life experiences thus far. "Pinkalicious" and "Goldilicious" are silly and fun books; Purplicious is not.
