Think Pink

As Valentine Season dictates, the more pink the better.  Love is in the air, pink is everywhere...and my attempts at being poetic flounder.  Despite practicing on my long distance best friend, I may be lacking in mushy lines this year, but nevertheless can deliver one gem guaranteed to spice up your Valentine's Day.

Pinkalicious, written by Victoria and Elizabeth Kann, introduces a little girl who loves the color pink more than anything else.  She is so devoted to her passion that she insists on eating pink cupcakes (because, let's face it, they taste better when they're pink).  After surpassing her cupcake limit tenfold, Pinkalicious wakes up the following morning to discover that her fleshy hue has undergone a dramatic transformation.  She doesn't mind so much, though.  Just like her favorite cupcakes, Pinkalicious feels more beautiful (and special) in her magenta shade.

Believe it or not, there is such a thing as too much pink, as this little lady is sure to find out.  Will Pinkalicious learn the art of moderation or will she indulge to the point of no return?  Marvel at the supremely fuchsia illustrations that seem to pop out of every page.  Chuckle at the influx of clever pink puns.  Overdose on pink (and love every minute of it).
