The parents' guide to what's in this TV show.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Pinkalicious & Peterrific is an animated series based on the picture books by Victoria Kann. Pinkalicious' (voiced by Kayla Erickson) adventures are driven by her creativity and big imagination, and they incorporate elements of visual and performing arts. She can be disobedient and impulsive at times, but she's also a patient older sister to her brother, Peter (Jaden Waldman), as well as a good friend, and she's always confident in speaking her mind. Lively music rounds out this enjoyable book adaptation that fans of her character will especially enjoy.

What's the Story?
Victoria Kann's much-loved book characters grace the screen in PINKALICIOUS & PETERRIFIC. Spunky, outspoken Pinkalicious (voiced by Kayla Erickson) lives to be creative, and her big imagination inspires lots of unexpected fun for her; her younger brother, Peter (Jaden Waldman); and her friends around their hometown of Pinkville.
Is It Any Good?
Pinkalicious' exuberance translates well from print to screen. As in the books, she can be a little naughty and occasionally inspire similar behavior in others around her, and her consequences (or lack thereof) aren't exactly realistic. But her impulsiveness can also be endearing and relatable to kids with similar tendencies, and to some degree to the grown-ups who love them. Pinkalicious excels in encouraging creative thought and self-expression. Her adventures always have an artsy angle, from impromptu music performances to more general appreciation of colors (especially pink!), and imagination is central to her experiences. With original music featured in each episode, Pinkalicious & Peterrific is an engaging series that's most fun for fans of the books.
