"Purplicious" by Victoria Kann & Elizabeth Kann
An adorable book about a little girl named Pinkalicious, it teaches children about being true to themselves and that it's ok to not like all the same things as everyone else. It's interesting that the author chose to highlight the color pink. I liked that all the other girls liked the color black -- a color that not many little girls typically like. I chose to read this book because I have seen it in lots of bookstores with its companion, Pinkalicious. I know a few young girls who really enjoy these books so I thought I would see what all the hype is about. Turns out I enjoyed reading the book and the illustrations were great! I liked that on the pages when Pinkalicious was sad there was only white or colors other than pink. When she is happy the page is filled with pink things. I think it's interesting that the author chose purple as the favorite color of her friend. Typically the colors pink and purple are favorites for young girls. I think it would have been nice if the author chose to make green or blue (typically colors that boys like) the friend's favorite color instead. Anyway, this was a cute book and an easy, lighthearted read.
