review 1: I thought this was a little disappointing. I liked Pinkalicious and Goldilicious, but this book was really lacking. I felt it was very random... one minute they were in a forest (not a park) then they were in a bunch of trash. The magic words to make the garbage disappear was a little lame too. Also, I missed the fantasy/real world comparison that were in the other books. They never really left her fantasy world. I like the idea of reusing trash to make something new and cool though, but this book could have done it better.
review 2: Highly Recommended [return][return]Pinkalicious is back in her 5th hardcover book. Readers will quickly recognize author/illustrator Victoria Kann’s mixed media style and quirky writing. Pinkalicious is in the park with her ... morebrother, Peter, looking at all the pink things. Her wand breaks and they find themselves in their favorite park that has turned into a garbage dump. Pinkalicious makes a new wand and cape from leaves and flowers. It turns into magic and helps them to clean up the mess in the park. The garbage is recycled into new things, flowers start growing and steampunk-esque things emerge in the illustrations. Pinkalicious and Peter work hard to transform their space into a “greenatastic garden!”[return][return]No doubt the little ones will be thrilled see a new Pinkalicious book. This one is perfect for Green Week at school or Earth Day. It would make a great read aloud to K-4 Girl Scouts working on a Journey project on caring for the earth or recycling. This would also be a good fit for elementary schools that have Green Teams. A perfect choice for a story to start a meeting. This would be good on any book display dealing with recycling or Earth Day. Most students who like AR will be pleased to know that this has a corresponding AR quiz. The message is relevant for today’s children and the words are fun read. This would make a good addition to a school library. less
