 Cute with a little tweaking June 3, 2008
We received this as a gift, and my 3 year old daughter honestly loves it. However when reading aloud it I recommend the following modifications:
- Skip the embellishments about how gross the vegetables are. We just say she ate her brussles sprouts, green beans, etc. and we point at all of the green foods on the page that my daughter eats.
- We also say "NO, PINKALICIOUS!" when we see her standing on a tower of furniture to reach the cupcakes on top of the refrigerator.
- I also usually mention that WE don't eat 6 cupcakes like Pinkalicious does because that is TOO MANY!
- And it is not really possible to swing from the chandelier
The book has a few bothersome points like this but it is also a light and fluffy story that we enjoy. Hopefully by the time my daughter can read it to herself she will be old enough to ignore the negative messages.
mixed review May 24, 2008
We all love this story in spite of the sassy, disobedient protagonist. I edit out the rude or negative words when I read it to the kids. The other day I was shocked to find my son standing on a child's chair which he had placed on top of another chair to reach the top of the fridge (where I keep his art stuff). He definitely got this idea from Pinkalicious. Luckily I caught him before he got hurt, but I decided to put Pinkalicious away for a while...
 Very Cute book May 11, 2008

Our 3 year old daughter just LOVES this book and I enjoy reading it to her. She has actually memorized parts of the book...The illustrations are very cute and we look at those just as much as we read the story. The idea that your child will not eat green vegetables after reading this story is just down right ridiculous. This story has action and consequence and tells it in a cute way. It has not made my daughter rude or disobedient. It has simply brought us joy as a bedtime STORY and we truly enjoy it. I would recommend it to other parents and will probably give it as gifts to friends' children in the future.
Cute story May 5, 2008
This is a cute story that is similar to The Chocolate Touch in that the little girl eats too many pink cupcakes and she turns pink. We love the line "you get what you get and you don't get upset".
We're sick of it, but she loves it April 21, 2008
My 2-year-old has literally memorized this book and it travels with us everywhere. I have given it as a gift to all the little ones we know. Yes, the character is a bit sassy, but I like to think that my parenting and examples have more influence over her behavior than a character in a book.
