On a school field trip to the zoo during Bird Week, Pinkalicious vows to see a "pinkerrifically pink" parakeet and uses what she knows about the bird to lure it. The plotting is a bit sharper than what the Pinkalicious picture books routinely offer. Likewise, the cutesiness and super-glam art are moderately dialed back, encouraging beginning readers to focus on the story. (c) Copyright 2015.

The culmination of Bird Week at school is a field trip to the zoo, where Pinkalicious looks forward to seeing a pink parakeet but the parakeet has escaped from the birdhouse! Luckily, her bird book tells her just what to do. This I Can Read spin-off from the best-selling picture-book series is a Level 1 reader (Beginning Reading), which features a straightforward plot and simple language that includes a variety of bird names (parakeet, toucan, oriole) for new readers to learn. Sentences are short, no more than two lines, and use a variety of punctuation, including an ellipsis. Colorful illustrations support the text, making use of collage techniques and realistic bird depictions. Pinkalicious fans and bird-lovers alike will be pleased with this animal-rescue tale.--Isaacs, Kathleen Copyright 2015 Booklist
