K-Gr 2-Pinkalicious, the insouciant little girl who loves pink (especially Pink Passion Fruit Paradise ice cream) is back and in trouble. The girls in her class tease her that pink is passi and babyish, and that black is the new in color. Although her family tries to cheer her up, Pinkalicious almost abandons her favorite color until a new girl in her art class helps her see that pink is powerful and perfect-particularly when mixed with blue to make purple. The lively cartoon illustrations spill across the pages mirroring the protagonist's feelings as she changes from a confident, imaginative child to a sad one who believes she is alone in the world and then back to her old spirited self, fortified by a new friend and a newly discovered color. As with Pinkalicious (HarperCollins, 2006), this story will be fun to use in a color unit and has the added attraction of dealing with feelings of not fitting in, which are common in a child's life. The book is a winner for most collections.-Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA (c) Copyright 2010.

Pinkalicious is ostracized at school for her idolatry of all things pink ("Pink is passe...All the girls like black now"). It's an improvement over Pinkalicious, this book's predecessor: this time at least there's a principle at stake (standing up for one's beliefs). The story is still painted in extremely broad strokes; the meticulously detailed pink and purple illustrations are not. (c) Copyright 2010.
