eating pink cupcakes despite her parents’ warnings. Her love for pink cupcakes
lands her at the doctor's office with a case of pinkititis, an affliction that
turns her pink from head to toecertainly a
dream come true for Pinkalicious, right? The doctor prescribes a dose of green
foods, everything from Brussels sprouts to grapes, but Pinkalicious can't
refuse one more pink cupcake and turns a shade of bright red! She even watches

yummy treats! How will little Pinkalicious find her way out of this
predicament?
