Delightful!, Feb 1 2011
By Bibliophile By the Sea - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Silverlicious (Hardcover)
What little girl does not like the colors pink, or purple? In Silverlicious, a little girl named Pickalicious, loses her tooth -- not just any tooth, but her sweet tooth, and Pinkalicious loves sweets. She decides to leave the tooth fairy a note, along with her tooth, asking her to bring her something sweet to eat until her new sweet tooth grows in. For several nights in a row, she gets a visit while she is asleep, not from the tooth fairy Tootheetina, but from Carlos Cupid, Edgar Easter Bunny and even Elf #351. Each leave her (3) pieces of candy, none of which tastes sweet to her, and a note explaining that the tooth fairy was called away, to places far away like India to help an elephant with a "tusk ache".
In the end, Pinkalicious learns where sweetness really comes from, deep inside oneself, and yes, she discovers that she can once again can taste sweets, and that somethings are just simply...... "Silverlicious"!
This story is so very cute, the illustrations are so colorful and detailed, and without a doubt, this book will delight the sweet little girl in your life. This is my first children's book by Victoria Kann, but it will not be my last. I'll be off to checkout this author's earlier books in this series: Pickalicious, Purplicious and Goldilcious as well. I can just imagine how adorable the illustrations and stories will be. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The best Pinkalicious book since the original "Pinkalicious", Feb 2 2011
By PAUL BRADSHAW - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Silverlicious (Hardcover)
My 5 year old daughter absolutely loves all of the Pinkalicious series of books (Pinkalicious, Purplicious, Goldalicious and now Silverlicious). Of the first three books my favorite has always been the original Pinkalicious, as it is a good, upbeat story. Purplicious is somewhat spoiled by unpleasant kids who make fun of the title character's love of pink; Goldilicious is cute but has less of an actual story. The new Silverlicious has an interesting story, is happy and positive, and sends a good message about being a sweet person.
At the beginning of the story the title character (Pinkalicious Pinkerton) loses a tooth, and it turns out to be her sweet tooth so she cannot enjoy sweet treats anymore. Because her "personal tooth fairy" is busy she gets visits from Cupid, the Easter Bunny, and one of Santa's elves. Her reactions to these visits and the notes she writes to these characters are quite amusing. The book has a satisfying ending where Pinkalicious discovers the real secret of tasting sweet things.
This is a great book for young girls (I would say ages about 3 to 7). Boys might well enjoy it too, as the protagonist's brother Peter appears as a major character.

Another Readalicious Hit!!!, Feb 2 2011
By Colleen D. Gallagher "teachingheart net" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Silverlicious (Hardcover)
We are big fans of Pinkalicious: The Perfectly Pink Collection! We love all the books in this series! Grab your Madame Alexander, 18" Goldilicious Cloth Doll, Pinkalicious and Storyland Collection, this new book (Silverlicious), and your favorite little princess and settle in for another great read!!! Children make a text to text connection with Pinkalicious and her loose tooth and her love of sweets. They get into the sweet story because they can relate to Pinkalicious and can't imagine how it must feel to think candy is no longer sweet. Pinkalicious turns to the tooth fairy for help when she loses that sweet tooth. She writes her a letter asking her for something sweet and lays awake in hopes to catch a glimpse of the fairy. But like most kiddos, she finally falls asleep and awakes to an unusual surprise... It looks like someone else with wings came to visit and it probably wasn't the tooth fairy. Thus, starts a marvelous journey through a few yummy holidays with Pinkalicious as she tries to get her sweet tooth back. This story ends with a message reminding Pinkalicious and the reader that Sweetness comes from the inside! Once Pinkalicious is Sweet to her brother things begin to change.
This book would make a great treat for the tooth fairy to stick under a child's pillow in place of a tooth. It is darling and will be well loved by my princess for years to come.
