Pinkalicious is a series of children's picture books written and illustrated by Victoria Kann. The first two books, Pinkalicious and Purplicious, were co-written with her sister, Elizabeth Kann. The books are aimed at ages 4–8, and are based on Victoria's two daughters and their love for the color pink.
Premise The stories center on Pinkalicious Pinkerton, an ego-centered imaginative young girl who loves the color pink to the point of worship (as seen in Pinkalicious & Peterrific), and are told in first-person narrative. They are also about her younger brother, Peter, who likes riding his scooter and playing with blocks.

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.Pinkalicious the Musical, 2007
