Goldilicious

Goldilicious by Victoria Kann is geared towards children ages 5-8. This story is a sequel t the New York Times bestselling PINKALICIOUS and PURPLICIOUS books. In this book, a new magical character comes to life, Goldilicious, a unicorn owned by Pinkalicious. Goldilicious, also called Goldie, is Pinkalicious’ pet unicorn that can roller-sate, kite-fly, high jump and can protect Pinkalicious from the evil wizardry of her little brother. Together this duo can conquer anything. This is a wonderful story that helps show imagination and creativity of young kids. I liked reading this story as well as looking through the illustrations. I can picture a young girl and brother going through this in their imagination of play throughout the day. I thought the illustrator did a great job on the illustrations because they are eye catching in the match up of pink and yellow being bright colors and easy to catch ones eye. This book could be read at home with kids or also in a classroom. I think the best time this story could be read as a read-aloud would be when discussing creative pieces or having an assignment where students can write stories on whatever they would like.
