Children's Literature

There is only one word to describe this title—"readalicious!" Capitalizing on a love for all things pink, this ode to that rosy hue is exuberant with illustrations that dance off the pages and colors that seem to be entities in and of themselves. Our heroine, a young girl who adores pink, indulges in one too many of her mother's delicious pink cupcakes. The result is that her entire body turns lusciously pink. "I'm Pinkerbelle!" she exclaims with delight. Her mother drags her off to the pediatrician who proclaims that she must eat green foods to counteract all "that pink." Of course, "Pinkerella" eats "just one more" pink cupcake and arises the next day to discover that she has gone past pink to startlingly bright red. After consuming everything green she can find, she is transformed back to her usual color. As she is hugging her mother in happiness, her dad inquires "What happened to the rest of the pink cupcakes?" and that is when the younger brother leaps out yelling "Pink-a-boo!" Needless to say he is now as pink as raspberry sherbet. Mixed media, including collage and the use of real items like doilies and other odd-a-ments, bring this humorous romp of a book colorfully to life. This title will make a great springboard for discussions about how skin color affects all of our lives, both in reality and in people's imaginations. What color would one choose to be? There are lots of possibilities at multiple levels.
