## Reception

Shanea Goldizen of Library Point describes Pinkalicious as "a colorful, scrumptious feast for the eyes and will keep your kids reading and re-reading." A Publishers Weekly review said that 'the artwork creates visual interest to keep pink-loving gals involved in this tale of wonderful-to-wretched excess.'

## Adaptations
### Musical

On March 3, 2007, Pinkalicious was adapted into a 50-minute musical, named Pinkalicious the Musical. In it, Pinkalicious cannot stop eating pink cupcakes despite her parents warning her. After eating too many, she is diagnosed by a doctor with "Pinkititis", an illness that turns her completely pink. She doesn't seem to mind, because it is her favorite color. But when it goes too far, she must figure out a way to stop it.

### TV series

Pinkalicious & Peterrific is a children's television series that follows the adventures of Pinkalicious and her brother Peter as they imagine how the world looks through Pinkalicious' artful eye. The series premiered on PBS Kids on February 19, 2018, and is co-produced by WGBH and Sixteen South.
