Product Description:
It's purple Pinkalicious!
Pinkalicious loves the colour pink, but all the girls at school like black. They tease her, saying that pink stinks and pink is for babies. But Pinkalicious doesn't think so…that is, until her friends stop playing with her. Now Pinkalicious has a case of the blues. But could she ever turn her back on her favorite color?
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.

My 5-year-old daughter and I loved Pinkilicious. Since Purple is her favorite color, we couldn't wait to read Purplicious. What a shock! I just spent page after page explaining to her about bad names we don't call other people. The children in the book taunt Pinkilicious for clinging to a "baby" colour like Pink, which would be ok, but did we have to have them calling each other names? The highlight (or lowlight) was when I had to explain what Pinkilicious meant when she called her little brother a "sissy". I usually screen my kids' books pretty carefully, but when the author is one we've read and loved before I sometimes let my guard down. Oops! So, if you'd like to avoid awkward vocabulary lessons with your child, avoid this book.

Not only is the book good, but the cover and the pictures are so beautifully colored that my granddaughter loves to just look at the cover and feel it. That's half the battle to getting them to read.

I was a bit disappointed, as well as surprised since the very first story was very lighthearted. I was expecting something a little different; something similar to the very first story. I thought the story would focus on Purplicious liking Purple and turning Purple as in the very first book when she turned pink. However, that was not the case.
This book, though it gives a good message, is a little unbalanced. It is a mature subject that may not be best for everyone. The message comes, albeit a little late. I would have liked for there to be more pages with a more positive slant, but that's not what the author wrote. So, although I agree with most of the reviewers who wouldn't read this book to a very young child, I am going to read it to my older students (3rd-5th) because, being in Special education, they deal with this on a daily basis. I like the message, so it will stay in my library.

Purplicious
Simply put, this book condones bullying among children...young children, at that. Who would write such a thing? Who would publish such a thing? Who would sell such a thing?
Children should not read/be read content that finds a a little girl belittled and excluded for liking "pink"; if "pink" is an "excluder", what is the implied behavior encouraged in response to children with disabilities, disfigurements, or perhaps even "just" an unusual name?

Pinkalicious is one of my daughter's favorite books. I had to get her Purplicious! I was expecting so much more from this book. The tone was completely different and overall the book was boring. Oh well, you win some you lose some!
