I had never seen a flower girl before, so I empathized with Pinkalicious and her journey to discover what is a flower girl.

[Courtney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pinkalicious, Pinkalicious, Pinkalicious, what a name to call your child, but for this bright-eyed little girl it suits her just perfectly. The epitome of a girly-girl with all the frilly touches that every princess needs, this little girl surly must give her parents a run for their money.

"Flower Girl" is an adorable tale about Pinkalicious and her brother figuring out what the term 'flower girl' means? Does it mean that a little girl was born a flower? Can a little girl become a flower? Do you throw flour? So many different versions running through these children's heads, and as everyone knows Pinkalicious is just the girl to figure out the truth.

"What are you doing? And what is that smell?" asked Daddy.

AH, I'M BACK IN THE KINDRED SPIRIT WORLD OF PINKALICIOUS

Bolstered by Victoria Kann's irrepressible sense of humor in the background, I'm having such fun reading this picture book. Hahaha, this has to be the funniest one of this series that I've seen yet.

Not only do I consider this lighthearted book a FIVE STAR read. In addition, here's a true confession.

As I recall, I've reviewed a couple of other picture books about being a flower girl/ring bearer. For sure, this is the only one of them I really liked. Liked it without trying! Thanks, Victoria.

I read this book to Julianna today. She loves pinkalicious. She gives the book 5 stars.

[Holly Letson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read this a week or so ago, and it's such a cute story. Pinkalicious overhears her mother talking about a "flower girl" on the phone, and decides she wants to be one.
So, Pinkalicious takes the term to literally mean she is supposed to cosplay a flower. So, she dresses as a pink flower, and her brother dresses as a yellow one. Their father tells them that is not what "flower girl" means.
The children assume that they misheard it, and that it is really "flour girl", meaning that they should toss flour around. Much as they enjoy making a mess of the kitchen, Pinki knows this isn't it.
Finally, her mother explains that "flower girl" means you toss flowers at a wedding, and that she will be one soon. Pinki is excited about this.

Pinkalicious is going to be a flower girl and has a lot of fun figuring out what one is along the way!

From posing as flowers in the garden to a flour fight in the kitchen with her brother, Pinkalicious is as creative as she is confused in this story.

Digital artwork incorporates many types of media for a fun visual effect that adds a lot of depth.

[Reesha · Rating 5 out of 5]

An adorable story about a Pink - loving girl who overhears her Mother's phone conversation about parts of a wedding. hearing the word flower girl, this girl participates in dress up, perfume, and flour throwing. Cute and precious, I would recommend this book to all the little girly-girls.

Pinkalicious: Flower Girl by Victoria Kann is so funny!

[Portia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I liked it because it was funny and explained how being a flower girl could be confusing. And it had cake in it.

[Pinky · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pinkalicious is a little confused about what a flower girl is.

I was peeved by the over the top gender stereotypes, from the name to the way her little brother wanted to be a flower too (but had to be a "tiger lily" because that sounded "fierce"). But my 3-year-old wanted to read it, so we did. Without the gender stereotypes it actually was a cute story about a misunderstanding the meanings of words and the hilarity that ensued.
