I don't love pinkalicious, but my 2nd graders sure do. Recommend to start discussions about imagination and engage girly-girls in reading.

This was a cute book. I think it's one that captures every little girls attention. The pictures are pretty and vivid and the story is just as nice.

School can be hard. Especially when you bring your imaginary/invisible unicorn.

I don’t like that she uses her emotions to blackmail her teacher into letting the unicorn stay.

There is cursive on the wall. So I’m assuming second or third grade kids. I’m sure there are better ways of making new friends than talking about your imaginary unicorn.

I don’t know why these books severely rub me the wrong way. Maybe because they are blatantly marketed to my young girl children? They reinforce undesirable behavior? The stories don’t flow well? I wish my daughter didn’t love them so much.

Pinkalicious wishes her imaginary pet unicorn, Goldilicious, could come to school too. After promising her teacher that she will behave herself, Goldilicious is allowed to visit school and they have a wonderful day. Categorized as a Level 1 book by publisher Harper, School Rules's simple sentences and straightforward story is appropriate for beginning readers. Unfortunately, although the vibrant illustrations are sure to appeal to reluctant readers, they are for decorative purposes only and do not support the text's meaning. This is a book with a lot of shelf appeal should be popular. Recommended for purchase in school and public libraries.
