Pinkalicious

Book Review:  Pinkalicious by Victoria Kann and Elizabeth Kann, Published by Harper Collins, 2006.

If pink is your child’s favorite color, then she will want to read this book. My daughter bought it at her school’s book fair. During a rainy day, Mom made cupcakes, and her daughter told her to make them pink, deep pink. She helped her mom frost them and ate a couple. Her brother stayed away from them. The girl ate some after dinner and wanted more cupcakes before bed, but her parents refused. When she woke up she was totally pink from her hair to her toes. Her parents tried to wash it off and even took her to the doctor. The doctor declared she had Pinkititis. The cure–eat only green food. But that night she ate another pink cupcake and turned red! Out of desperation, she finally ate all the green vegetables she could find in her fridge. Eventually, she returned her normal color.

This is a great book that can help the very young children learn their colors. I also love the part about having green vegetables save the girl! What a great way parents can brag on how eating vegetables is good for the body! For fun, you could even bake pink cupcakes by adding food coloring to the white batter and white frosting.
