Pinkalicious

June 14, 2009

pinkA very hungry little lady turns pink from eating too many pink cupcakes. Her mom rushes her to the doctor who diagnoses her with Pinkitis and prescribes lots of green foods.  You can imagine what she does with this prescription.  The lesson here is that sometime “just one more” is too much.  You may have a tricky time explaining the new vocabulary introduced by this book…pinkalicious, Pinkerbelle, Pinkerella, Pinkitis, pinktails, and pink-a-boo.  It’s a great laugh, a good lesson and a fun read.
