In this follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Pinkalicious, a young girl remains true to herself and discovers that pink isn't only a pretty color, but also a powerful one.

While everyone knows Pinkalicious’s favorite color is pink, the bullies at her new school don’t agree. All the girls are wearing black, painting in black, and making fun of Pinkalicious for loving pink. “Pink is for babies and stinks!” they tell her. Pinkalicious feels left out until she learns that pink can be a powerful color, and that the most important thing is to be yourself.

Pinkalicious stars in five more picture books—Pinkalicious, Goldilicious, Silverlicious, Emeraldalicious, and Aqualicious—as well as I Can Reads, doodle books, and more.

In the follow-up to the bestselling Pinkalicious, a young girl remains true to herself and discovers that pink isn't only a pretty color, but also a powerful one.

Kids love it

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2022

My kid loves this from school. I think it could do a better job addressing the mean girls, but it gets the conversation going.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 4, 2009

Verified Purchase

Despite the negative feedback, I decided to try out Purplicious. The name, as with Pinkalicious, was too cute to resist. I want to address some of the negative feedback from other buyers with my opinion.
Some of the complaints came from parents of children under 5. If you use the "look inside" feature, you will see that the book is geared for 5-8 year olds. My 3 year old enjoyed the book; however, I am sure she does not fully understand the moral behind the story yet.
One response said "the mean girls don't even learn a lesson in the end." Well, that is a life lesson. Not every mean person learns a lesson. THAT is a lesson for the person being hurt. The lesson is that people are mean and you just have to ignore them, be yourself, and move on.
The book does have a negative tone and there are low points to Pinkalicious' feelings. However, many people have those feelings and do not know how to handle them. This book allows a child to learn that many people have down moments but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Yes, there are phrases like, "pink stinks", "pink is for babies", "pink ice cream is for sissies." So what!? Kids say these words and worse every day. It is a nice way to introduce things your kids will eventually hear in an environment in which parents can advise them on how to handle those types of words.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I will recommend it to anyone. It is not a happy-go-lucky, feel-good story. It is a story about personal preferences, how mean people can be, and how to be yourself!!! How can a story with that premise be so bad?!

An important moral lesson, even some parents don't get it.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

My daugther is 5 and enjoys this book. The book is well written, suitable in length, and has beautiful pictures. It is typical of many books in the pinkalicious series. This book got negative reviews because parents thought it was going to be a cutsy disney book. It you want a bright, giggly and pointless book, this isn't it. If you want a book that teaches a difficult but valuable life lesson, one important to the moral development of any child, get this book, We live in a society were some children have never learned to cope, and can hear their tragic stories daily on the news. This book is desperately needed.

The book is realistic and genius, especially scenes were Pinkalicious struggles, experiments with conforming, and internalizing the view of others. This is shown when she interacts with her brother at the ice cream store. Being teased and singled out, feeling alone, having parents that don't not understand, and realizing a simple but different perspective can you change your view, finding hope, I am amazed how Kann packed it all in just a few pages.

Purplicious, however, is perhaps suitable for children 5 and up. It is not "too negative." In fairy tales and fables, characters there are regularly killed and eaten by foxes and witches, but the moral of the story isn't lost. That's want's important.

Ehh- wouldn’t recommend for younger kids

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my almost 3 year old who is obsessed with Pinkalicious as well as the color purple. I had no idea what the book was about. After reading the book to her I decided that it would not be one we are keeping in our collection due to the negativity as well as using the word “ugly” multiple times. I can definitely see how this would be great for an older child to show them what peer pressure is. We just weren’t at that point yet.

A bit harsh, just like real life.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 19, 2011

Verified Purchase

After reading all the negative reviews, I really did not want to buy this book for my then 4.5 year old daughter. However, she got Gramma to read it to her in the bookstore and begged me to buy it for her. I refused. Flash forward a year and a half later and guess what? my sweet 6 year old has encountered some very mean older girls who have told her that they "hate pink" and that "pink is for babies." (She still adores pink!) It's hard for some children to be accepted and with all the pressure on little girls to grow up and dress like little women, wear make up and be cool, it's refreshing to see a message that says it's okay to love pink and be yourself.

I get that this may not apply to very little kids and hopefully most people who reviewed this book with one star and threw it away won't need to get another copy to comfort their child like I did. I wish bullying did not exist, but it does. Kids can be very cruel. Be open to talking about peer pressure and bullying with your kids. This book opens the door for that when you feel they are ready.

P.S. My son who is 10 says he likes the book for the message it sends.

Nice Story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

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.

This was advertised as very good condition. The plastic sleeve is ripped in the corners
The first page has a huge sticker type mark which looks like something has been torn off! It was mwnt to be a gift but definitely can't gift in this condition. For the price I did expect much better and I definitely would bot have said very good condition.....its more fair condition.
