Pink Cupcake Magic Katherine Tegen Book
by Katherine Tegen

Pink Cupcake Magic by Katherine Tegen is a picture book about Zoe, a typical young girl who loves playing with her stuffed animals and dreaming of princesses and castles. She holds cupcakes close to her heart, especially pink cupcakes with pink frosting. However, her brother Ralph shares her love of cupcakes. He and his buddies were in the habit of eating Zoe's cupcakes -- a lot of Zoe's cupcakes -- without her permission. To get back at them, she plays a prank.

Young girls will easily relate to the main character of the story. Zoe dreams of princesses, castles and parties at the palace. She loves playing make believe with her stuffed toys. One day Zoe adds a special ingredient to the cupcakes. It would change everything. Pink Cupcake Magic is full of surprises and the story ends with a humorous and unexpected twist.

As an added bonus, the book concludes with a recipe for cupcakes and pink icing, using ingredients that should be readily available in the pantry. Youngsters will be eager to try out the magical treats.

Kristen Varner's full page illustrations are lively and fun. Children will find the characters colorful, reminding them of fairy tales and fantasy, while adults will reminisce of simpler times. This heartwarming tale will appeal to children in the 5-to 8-year-old range, prompting many of them to want it read time and time again.
