From Booklist

Self-centered Pinkalicious grabs her brother�s cookie, bites, and loses a tooth�her sweet tooth. Suddenly unable to taste anything sweet, she asks for help from the tooth fairy. Instead, she receives visits from Cupid, the Easter bunny, and a Christmas elf before discovering that she�ll taste treats again only if she sweetens her disposition. The digital artwork is frequently overcrowded, but children will have no trouble reading the emotions expressed in the characters� faces and body language. Those new to the Pinkalicious series should definitely start with Pinkalicious (2006), but the latest book will please loyal fans. Preschool-Grade 2. --Carolyn Phelan

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful! February 1, 2011

By Bibliophile By the Sea TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Hardcover

What little girl does not like the colors pink, or purple? In Silverlicious, a little girl named Pickalicious, loses her tooth -- not just any tooth, but her sweet tooth, and Pinkalicious loves sweets. She decides to leave the tooth fairy a note, along with her tooth, asking her to bring her something sweet to eat until her new sweet tooth grows in. For several nights in a row, she gets a visit while she is asleep, not from the tooth fairy Tootheetina, but from Carlos Cupid, Edgar Easter Bunny and even Elf #351. Each leave her (3) pieces of candy, none of which tastes sweet to her, and a note explaining that the tooth fairy was called away, to places far away like India to help an elephant with a "tusk ache".

In the end, Pinkalicious learns where sweetness really comes from, deep inside oneself, and yes, she discovers that she can once again can taste sweets, and that somethings are just simply...... "Silverlicious"!

This story is so very cute, the illustrations are so colorful and detailed, and without a doubt, this book will delight the sweet little girl in your life. This is my first children's book by Victoria Kann, but it will not be my last. I'll be off to checkout this author's earlier books in this series: Pickalicious, Purplicious and Goldilcious as well. I can just imagine how adorable the illustrations and stories will be. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Pinkalicious book since the original "Pinkalicious" February 2, 2011

By PAUL BRADSHAW

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

My 5 year old daughter absolutely loves all of the Pinkalicious series of books (Pinkalicious, Purplicious, Goldalicious and now Silverlicious). Of the first three books my favorite has always been the original Pinkalicious, as it is a good, upbeat story. Purplicious is somewhat spoiled by unpleasant kids who make fun of the title character's love of pink; Goldilicious is cute but has less of an actual story. The new Silverlicious has an interesting story, is happy and positive, and sends a good message about being a sweet person.

At the beginning of the story the title character (Pinkalicious Pinkerton) loses a tooth, and it turns out to be her sweet tooth so she cannot enjoy sweet treats anymore. Because her "personal tooth fairy" is busy she gets visits from Cupid, the Easter Bunny, and one of Santa's elves. Her reactions to these visits and the notes she writes to these characters are quite amusing. The book has a satisfying ending where Pinkalicious discovers the real secret of tasting sweet things.

This is a great book for young girls (I would say ages about 3 to 7). Boys might well enjoy it too, as the protagonist's brother Peter appears as a major character.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Readalicious Hit!!! February 2, 2011

By Colleen D. Gallagher VINE™ VOICE

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

We are big fans of Pinkalicious: The Perfectly Pink Collection! We love all the books in this series! Grab your Madame Alexander, 18" Goldilicious Cloth Doll, Pinkalicious and Storyland Collection, this new book (Silverlicious), and your favorite little princess and settle in for another great read!!! Children make a text to text connection with Pinkalicious and her loose tooth and her love of sweets. They get into the sweet story because they can relate to Pinkalicious and can't imagine how it must feel to think candy is no longer sweet. Pinkalicious turns to the tooth fairy for help when she loses that sweet tooth. She writes her a letter asking her for something sweet and lays awake in hopes to catch a glimpse of the fairy. But like most kiddos, she finally falls asleep and awakes to an unusual surprise... It looks like someone else with wings came to visit and it probably wasn't the tooth fairy. Thus, starts a marvelous journey through a few yummy holidays with Pinkalicious as she tries to get her sweet tooth back. This story ends with a message reminding Pinkalicious and the reader that Sweetness comes from the inside! Once Pinkalicious is Sweet to her brother things begin to change.

This book would make a great treat for the tooth fairy to stick under a child's pillow in place of a tooth. It is darling and will be well loved by my princess for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pinklicious is at it again! April 14, 2011

I bought this for my granddaughter, and she loves it. She is 3 years old, and she has all of the "licious" books. She loves for me and her mother to read them to her. They are very good stories for a child that age, and they hold her interest very well. I hope new books will soon be on the market with stories of interest for little ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter's new favorite book April 14, 2011

By M. Mcgraw

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

Every time a new Pinkalicious book comes out, it is my daughter's new favorite and this one did not disappoint. She is working on reading the new words in this Silverlicious book. My daughter is 6 and this is a perfect gift for any young girl. When we first started reading the Pinkalicious series, she couldn't read them at all. I read them to her. She was so proud that she could read most of the Silverlicious book on her own. For a 6 year old to read, it is a long book, but because she enjoys it so much, it kept her attention from page 1 to the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our favorite pinkalicious book so far!!!! March 18, 2011

By Robert Anderson

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

My girls loved this story. My son always enjoyed the book too. It was fun to read with them. We were all excited to see what would happen next. I love that this book also had a great moral about what happens when we are being sweet and when we are being bitter. Also... well worth it to buy this one in hardcover... this book will get a lot of use in our house.
