Purplicious (Pinkalicious)

Well, i dont love it, but my daughter does. I do however like the moral within it and this has resonated with my 3 year old daughter. The books are just great and fun to read too so all good.

MY DAUGHTERS LOVE THE BOOKS.

I bought this book a few weeks ago and my kids already know it by heart! Is there any such thing as too much pink? Pinkalicious loves pink. She especially loves yummy cupcakes with pink frosting. But, when she eats too many of them, she turns pink and comes down with a horrible case of pinkititis !!!! The doctor says the cure is to stop eating pink and to eat a steady diet of green foods. Can Pinkalicious resist the pink cupcakes sitting on the refrigerator? You must read Pinaklicious to fint it out. The words are pinkticious-delicious and the pictures are pinkorgeous-gorgeous. In between the whole fun there also is useful message about proper nutrition and the merits of a balanced diet. I also recommend a series of fun-filled books with great educational values titled Why Some Cats are Rascals

Very negative book. Name calling and bullying. I don’t enjoy reading it to my class.

Mi hija ama este cuento y el de pinkalicious. Es una manera muy linda de que aprenda inglés! La historia es sencilla y divertida!

Lovely story. My 4 year old chooses it for evening books often.

Excellent story ! My daughter loves it nightly

Good book. My daughter wanted this after reading pinkicious. I liked this one a lot better- great life lessons in it.

….good price and fast delivery!

We like this book very much. It touches the subject of keeping your own beliefs/likes even itf it is not popular.Its well written - funny, lively - my kids love it.

Spoiler alert coming... but read this vs buying the book. The first 90% of this book is girls bullying pinkalicious for liking the color pink. They are all goth kids and now like black, and make fun of her for liking pink. Great, but the whole book is these kids making pinkalicious eventually hate pink, and getting super depressed. To the point of not eating, and writing super depressing things in her journal.. then eventually one girl in her painting class says she likes pink and it is ok to like pink.... story over. The girls who did the bullying had no consequences. They didn't learn anything, and probably the next day they continue to make Pinkalicious depressed and hate the one thing she loves. The only lesson I tried to get my four year old to learn is DON'T be a bully. Then I threw away the book when she was sleeping. It is truly terrible.

I usually love the Pinkalicious books, but this one seems so negative. The girls who only wear black make fun of Pinkalicious who loves pink. She gets sadder and sadder thru the book until she meets a girl who likes purple. It ends rather abruptly. It's just ok, but the others are so much better.

This book is not good for little girls. I couldn’t believe what I was reading. It’s all about bullying. And there’s no resolution at the end. It just kind of abruptly ends. Such a strange book. I don’t want to drill these negative messages into my daughters head. I was shocked by this book as we have another pinkalicious book that’s not this bad (however I did use a pen in our other book to change some words). I guess we will be staying away from the pinkalicious series.

I wanted to like this book but it’s all about mean girls, and Pinkalicious being teased by the cool kids. I never would have bought it had I know.

My daughter and I went to see Pinkalicious and we really enjoyed it so I got her a book for Easter.If you're not familiar with the story, Pinkalicious and her family love the color pink. In this installment, Pinkalicious is facing unpopularity as everyone is saying the color pink is out and black is in.Pinkalicious struggles with her love of pink yet wanting to be accepted. In the end, she learns it's ok to like pink.I enjoyed this book. The illustrations are colorful. The length of the story is perfect for my 4 year old. I like that there is meaning in the story. I would recommend this book.

I recently read Purplicious to my daughter...and she loved the story...as I was reading "I am who I am and I like pink." my daughter responded, "I like pink too." As I read the remaining days...my daughter had a response for each of the days. "No, it's not lonely." "Yes, it has purpose." Being teased, is not an easy thing to accept, so how can you expect to turn the page and find resolution. There is the progression, being teased, looking at yourself, possibly questioning, reacting, and then "I am, who I am!" My daughter and I both enjoyed the book.

I love this series. This book especially shows girls (and boys) how to be true to themselves. Pinkalicious was getting picked on in this story because she liked the color pink and the rest of the girls in her class did not, they liked black. they teased her and told her pink was for babies, at first pinkalicious stood her ground and told the girls that her brother even liked pink. this story shows the mom and dad and brother helping pinkalcious to feel better, etc and then she discovers a friend in art c lass that loves pink to and shows her why. its a great book for kids to read or be read to. especially ones in school!

The issue of color preferences did not interest my granddaughter. I thought because she loved to paint she would show greater interest. Whether pink, blue, purple, didn't seem to matter and the solution of blending pink and blue to produce purple didn't capture a four year-old's imagination.
