5.0 out of 5 stars Filled with whimsical, imaginative, nostalgic illustrations June 18, 2010

By Midwest Book Review

Format:Paperback

"Pinkalicious and the Pink Drink" is a charming episode in the "Pinkalicious" series which includes "Pinkalicious," Purplicious," "Goldalicious," and more. Pinkalicious, a spunky, resourceful young entrepreneur, decides she will earn money to buy pink bubble gum balls by making and selling pink lemonade, on a hot day. Deciding she needs no help from her mother, Pinkalicious jumbles together her first pitcher of pink lemonade, using some unusual ingredients just because of their color (beets?). When her brother Peter pronounces it "chewy!" she decides to sell some to Mr. Peabody. He is less adventurous than Peter, announcing, "It's definitely missing something...either that or it has too much of something else!" Many little misadventures later, Mommy offers to help make a second batch of pink lemonade and this time the only pink ingredient added to the lemons, sugar and water is strawberries. Guess what? It tastes great! Pinkalicious succeeds in her bubble gum business venture and shares her winnings with Peter, not quite equally, but close. "Pinkalicious" is filled with whimsical, imaginative, nostalgic illustrations and should completely engage young readers ages 3-7. Its upbeat message of positive personal empowerment through creativity and the value of play and learning to share are valuable thought-nuggets.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book out of the series November 29, 2010

By Eve

Format:Paperback

Let me start off by saying I am not a big fan of the original Pinkalicious book. My daughter got it as a gift about a year ago and I found the little girl to be rude (sticking her tongue at her mother and disobeying her parents) and the message in the book was not a good one (green vegetables are gross, etc). But my daughter for some reason, loved the book illlustrations, so I would read her the book by editing it myself.
We were at the bookstore and my daughter saw this book and she really wanted it, so I read it real quick to decide if we are taking it home with us or not. This book is great! very cute! Pinkalicious wants to buy gumballs so she decides she is going to make and sell lemonade to raise the money. And guess what color the lemonade? Of course pink! She uses everything pink in the fridge (beets, pink frosting, pink grapefruit and watermelon)!!!! She ends up having to make a second batch with just strawberries (thanks to her mom). But best of all she shares half of the gumballs she bought with her little brother Peter who helped her set up the lemondae stand.
Adorable story and the illustrations are beautiful. I recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pinkalicious on Ice November 26, 2010

By M. G. Gagliano VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

Author, Victoria Kahn has really created a fun, colorful, creative character with Pinkalicious. We love all the Pinkalicious books. In this book, Pinkalicious has decided to color her skates with magic marker and for a second I was worried that my daughter upon hearing this would decide this was the way to make her shoes match her clothes. I trudged along, hopeful that Victoria knew what she was doing and kept reading without interjecting. Thankfully, the markers did what markers will do when they touch water and Pinkalicious had to deal with her skates changing and the embarrassment of "everyone seeing" her sloppy skates and the ice.

Goddess was worried for Pinkalicious and was upset that she was crying about her skates. "Poor Pinkalicious". Like every Pinkalicious book, Mommy and Daddy make it all better. Which is one of the things I love about this series. Pinkalicious is allowed to be witty, smart and funny without the cost of Mommy and Daddy looking like total fools. They always save the day. They love their little girl and make everything alright which is why she is so well adjusted.

My son and daughter both love Pinkalicious and with this book being a Beginning 1 Reader most 6 and 7 year olds will be able to read it with ease.

If you are looking to get your children or any child on your Christmas list books this year; WE highly recommend any and all of the Pinkalicious books by Victoria Kahn. We must not be the only ones because, they are never available at our local library.
