Reception
Shanea Goldizen of Library Point describes Pinkalicious as "a colorful, scrumptious feast for the eyes and will keep your kids reading and re-reading." A Publishers Weekly review said that 'the artwork creates visual interest to keep pink-loving gals involved in this tale of wonderful-to-wretched excess.'

After eating too many, she is diagnosed by a doctor with "Pinkititis", an illness that turns her completely pink. She doesn't seem to mind, because it is her favorite color. But when it goes too far, she must figure out a way to stop it.
