Princess Pink and the Land of Fake-Believe series.
The fully illustrated chapter-book series continues its fairy-tale spoofing as Princess Pink again travels through her refrigerator to the Land of Fake-Believe for a romp with Moldylocks; this one involves special radish-flavored jelly beans and a golden egg roll. As usual, the plot is pure frenetic silliness. Cartoons in electric colors with speech-bubble dialogue add to the absurdity (and the new-reader appeal).

YA
Pink & Green series.
In her third book, Lucy faces problems that will be familiar to many junior-high readers. She's anxious about boys and relationships; an overwhelming to-do list; friendship shifts; and moving on to high school. Though the second semester of eighth grade is "a box of assorted emotions, changing every other day," Lucy tackles each challenge with characteristic energy and optimism.

Princess Pink and the Land of Fake-Believe series.
In this second book, Princess Pink travels through her refrigerator to the Land of Fake-Believe where she reconnects with Moldylocks and meets Scaredy-Pants Wolf, a weepy baker whose pies are disappearing. They follow and trick a red-caped duck to solve the mystery. The wacky, frenetically paced tale unfolds in brief text, speech bubbles, and very brightly colored cartoons. Discussion questions are appended.
