Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
The star of Pinkalicious and Purplicious discovers an affinity for gold, in the form of a unicorn with a lustrous, golden mane. Even though Goldie might be imaginary (she turns translucent whenever Pinkalicious's mother is present), this doesn't stop the friends from practicing "pinkerrific pirouette[s]," riding on roller skates and playing hide-and-seek. Initially skeptical, Pinkalicious's brother, Peter, even joins in the fun. Though the pacing can feel a bit erratic, the effervescent (at times, playfully surreal) digital art and ornamental detailing offer treats for eagle-eyed readers. Ages 5-8.

Review by Horn Book Review
Pink-loving little princesses will welcome this companion to Pinkalicious and Purplicious. Pinkalicious and her brother romp with Goldilicious, a gold-horned unicorn that excels at roller-skating, kite-flying, and high-jumping, among other talents. The cutesy text is grating and there's no plot here; the story's focus on imaginary play may spark similar activity in readers. Cheerfully bland illustrations feature many rosy-hued flourishes.
