K-Gr 2—Pinkalicious has discovered the wonderful world of reading and cannot put books down. Whether at the dinner table, walking to school, or relaxing in bed, she always has her nose in a book. She reads through all the books in her house, at her school, and even in the library. What's next? A little library, of course! Pinkalicious is excited to share books with others through the give-and-take capabilities of a little library in her neighborhood. Soon, everyone has their nose in a book. This story is a fun introduction to the concept of a little library and can encourage children to participate in little libraries near them. Short sentences comprised of mostly sight words make this book an accessible beginning reader for burgeoning bookworms. Vivid digital illustrations highlight the likable characters and underscore Pinkalicious's dedication to reading. VERDICT With the explosion in popularity of little libraries, this book with bright illustrations and simple text would make an excellent addition to any well-rounded collection.—Amanda Chacon

Our popular, pink-loving protagonist promotes reading skills and persistently pursues reading pleasures.

Seeing Pinkalicious with her nose in a book, schoolmate Jade is incredulous: “Are you reading AGAIN?” Pinkalicious admits that reading was hard to learn, “but now it’s pinkamazingly fun!” On the bus, in bed, eating, or walking, she reads. At home there is nary a screen in sight, and she looks up from her book at dinner only when Dad fears he has forgotten her face. But Pinkalicious falls into a bibliophile’s nightmare: She “has read every book at least twice!” Desperate, she tries reading catalogs, cereal boxes, and recipes: arid narrative deserts. Brother Peter casually comments, “Too bad you can’t trade yours for new ones.” Bingo: Pinkalicious promptly mounts her book-filled dollhouse on a pedestal outdoors and publicizes her free lending library. (Encountering no pesky zoning code or HOA obstacles.) That night, too excited to sleep, Pinkalicious finds her old books gone, replaced by new-to-her books. The whole pale-faced Pinkerton family reads through breakfast, with predictably messy consequences. Illustrations hew to the series’ formula, as does the text: problem develops; problem grows more complex; creative solution found by our hero. The advocacy of reading makes this pleasant new entry particularly palatable. Jade presents Asian; Pinkalicious’ community is diverse.

Another perky pink easy reader sure to delight Pinkaholics. (Beginning reader. 4-8)
