Pinkalicious and the Pinkatastic Zoo Day
By: Victoria Kann
About:
Pinkalicious and the Pinkatastic Zoo Day is a 32 page book written for girls who can do some reading by themselves and of course is a Pinkalicious fan.
The book starts off when Pinkalicious is going on an outing to the zoo with her family. After making her first stop looking at the zebras, she decided that they need a hint of color and turned them pink with her Magic Wand. She then went on and changed the lion and hippos all to pink. After questioning her, she then changed her brother Peter pink.
After a nice picnic lunch they went back to enjoying there time at the zoo. That all changed when the monkey came down and took away Henrietta, Pinkalicouss teddy bear. No matter what she tried the monkey was not going to let go of the bear and the zoo was getting ready to close. Saddened, Pinkalicous was forced to leave with her parents.
That night Pinkalicous called Peter over for she had an idea. Together they spend the night sewing a pink stuffed monkey for the real monkey to have. The trade worked and everyone was happy.
Pros:
- Easy to read
- Problem solving
- Fun Animal illustrations
Cons:
- As this book end with the way Pinkalicous solved the problem of her missing bear, they could have added a page or two more to further see how she worked out the problem.
Suggestions:
- As this book is all about problem solving, after reading it try talking to your child about a problem they might be having. If you have none make on up. For example, you can talk to your child about a situation that might arise like having to work together with a friend. There can be many issues that you child will think of. You can use this as a great way to teach them healthy outcomes.
- Draw or print out different zoo animals. Have your child color them in using silly colors. It is a fun way to express themselves. Pinkaliciouss favorite color was pink and now you child has the power to show off what they feel an animal should look like.
Age Range:
- 5-8
- Child learning to read
- Child can form more complex words
Bottom Line:
This book is a great book for your more advanced beginner reader. It is all about how Pinkalicous gets into a problem at the zoo and how she solved it.
If your child is having an issue, please feel free to discuss it and tell us how he dealt with it?
