Beginning readers will love the close encounters in this space-themed Pinkalicious I Can Read adventure!

This served everything it needed it to, for what it was. I am definitely not the target audience but the cover saying I can read was a selling point for me because I too can read. Pinkalicious was just as much of an icon as I remember her being. I am a tad bit confused why the title doesn't have the word ‘the’ in it and that’s not the vibe in my opinion. If you are looking for a book for a small crotch goblin then this is a great option. If you are also a grown adult looking for a children's book just for fun or whatever then maybe not the best option.
My son likes learning about planets. He chose this book because he liked the idea of finding new planets. If your child likes the idea of exploring space and meeting aliens they might like this book too.
I think the story is nice for children who love the color pink, more traditionally I think girls would be drawn to this book. The story is unique and easy to follow. However I do have a big problem with the book. This book is meant to be for Beginning readers and I don't think the words in the book match that demographic. For the most part the book uses sight words and decodable words, but some of the words used would be difficult for children to read on their own, and inserting pink into words makes it even more confusing for a child trying to read on their own. The book calls aliens "Pinktonians" and at the end the book uses "Pinkaperfect". I don't think a child would have an easy time reading this on their own.
Very cute, but the story rambles all over the place. Is it about her school project? The alien mystery? The dream and loving home? The idea of the pink planet was a good one, and even just two more pages about going back to school and sharing her story would have tied the whole thing together.
E loves pink and she loves space, so this was a win-win. She hugged the book when I finished reading, took it to bed with her, and "read" it out loud twice.
Another children's book I read to my niece for bedtime over video chat! She got a kick out of little aliens and loved the pictures, commenting on how everything was so PINK.
