 Garbage! January 7, 2009
What a horrible follow up book! The story is rude and worthless! It plays up the mean kids and barely mentions making a new friend. First book Pinkalicious is 101% better! Don't bother, go to the library if your curious.
 Purpleicious January 7, 2009
Another fantastic book after Pinkalicious. A MUST in every 2-3 year old's reading collection
 Who lets their little girl use these words??? January 5, 2009
My 5-year-old daughter and I loved Pinkilicious. Since Purple is her favorite color, we couldn't wait to read Purplicious. What a shock! I just spent page after page explaining to her about bad names we don't call other people. The children in the book taunt Pinkilicious for clinging to a "baby" color like Pink, which would be ok, but did we have to have them calling each other names? The highlight (or lowlight) was when I had to explain what Pinkilicious meant when she called her little brother a "sissy". I usually screen my kids' books pretty carefully, but when the author is one we've read and loved before I sometimes let my guard down. Oops! So, if you'd like to avoid awkward vocabulary lessons with your child, avoid this book.
 beautiful December 16, 2008
Not only is the book good, but the cover and the pictures are so beautifully colored that my granddaughter loves to just look at the cover and feel it. That's half the battle to getting them to read.
 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. br /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.
