Product Description
It's purple Pinkalicious! Pinkalicious loves the color 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.

 A little disappointed, but still happy with the book overall October 26, 2008
I was a bit disappointed, as well as surprised since the first story was very lighthearted. I was expecting something a little different; something similar to the first story. I thought the story would focus on Purplicious liking Purple and turning Purple as in the 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.
 Bullying...Condoned? October 24, 2008
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?
 Highly disappointed October 7, 2008
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!
 A Wonderful Book! October 2, 2008
I absolutely LOVED the message of this book. It shows that you should always be yourself and not follow trends or peer pressure. I must admit that I read this one before Pinkalicious, so maybe coming into it without expectation, I viewed it as a wonderful teaching tool on how children should be true to themselves (a theme that shows up often in my own work.)
In real life, the mean kids may not change. The only thing children can change is their view of themselves, which this book underscores.
So, yay for Purplelicious! A wonderful title to add to my collection!
Thank you for the Purplicious! September 5, 2008

After reading all reviews I ordered the book for my 'almost 4' years old daughter. I was not disappointed. The book is beautiful, not 'too long' and to the point. My daughter agreed that other girls were not nice to Pinkalicious, was supporting Pinkalicious all the way thru the book and telling that she loves Pink too and was very happy when Pinkalicious finally found a good friend.
