So, usually I'm more a fan of classics. But this book is really cute and Emma just loves it. Our copy has bent and torn pages and the jacket is long gone. It is definitely well read! The story is about a little girl who eats so many pink cupcakes that she turns pink. A diet of green vegetables is the only remedy. This is definitely a girly book, which might be why Emma likes it so much. But it's also charming and some of the words and phrases are catchy. My favorite Pinkalicious saying: "You get what you get and you don't get upset." So, there's a lesson thrown in for good measure too. Anyway, it's a lot of fun and it's my #9 pick.
The sequels are no where near as good as the original. I do not recommend them at all (Purplicious, Silverlicious, and Goldalicious). Some of the "I Can Read" follow-ups are cute though. In particular, Emma likes Pink around the Rink and the Pink Drink.
