!!This series provides examples of:
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Pinky's little sister, Amanda, often annoys both Pinky and Rex.
* BeYourself: This is the {{Aesop}} that Pinky learns in ''Pinky and Rex and the Bully'', helped by Mrs. Morgan explaining to him how she regrets giving up on her interest in painting due to peer pressure when she was younger.
* TheBully: Kevin, the eponymous bully in ''Pinky and Rex and the Bully'', [[PinkIsForSissies picks on Pinky for liking pink]] and having a girl as his best friend.
* CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase: Many of the books are titled this way, combined with NameAndName.
* CoolBigSis: In ''Pinky and Rex and the New Baby'', Rex [[InvokedTrope goes to lengths]] to be a responsible older sister for her new little brother, due to worrying that her parents will forget about her once they have a second child to care for. Her fears subside by the end of the story, but she remains a good big sister, to the point where her new neighbors in ''Pinky and Rex and the New Neighbors'' consider having her babysit for them when she's older.
* CoolOldLady: Although she was originally a dreaded CrankyNeighbor, the children come to view Mrs. Morgan this way after they befriend her. She regularly invites them over for cookies and drinks, and helps Pinky deal with a bully.
* CrankyNeighbor: Mrs. Morgan aggressively chases the children off whenever she catches them on her property, even threatening to call the police on them. She softens up after Pinky offers her homemade cookies.
* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Rex likes dinosaurs and has a large collection of dinosaur toys and souvenirs.
* GenderBlenderName: Both of the main characters have names that are not immediately indicative of their genders. In Pinky's case, it's a [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname nickname]]; his birth name is William.

* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Pinky is a boy who likes the color pink and stuffed animals, Rex is a girl who likes dinosaurs and soccer.
* NameAndName: The entire series is named this way.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Everyone calls Pinky by his nickname. His birth name is William.
* OutOfFocus: Even though Rex is [[NameAndName one of the title characters]] of every book, there are a few in which she has only a minor role in the story, and only one of the books is written primarily from her perspective (''Pinky and Rex and the Perfect Pumpkin'').
* PerformanceAnxiety: Rex is uncomfortable with performing onstage, be it for a spelling bee or a play. Despite this, she gets cast in the lead role in ''Pinky and Rex and the School Play''. She ends up performing well, but maintains that she has no interest in acting in the future.
* PinkIsForSissies: Kevin outright calls Pinky a sissy for liking pink in ''Pinky and Rex and the Bully''. Pinky wonders for a time whether Kevin is right, but eventually learns to [[BeYourself Be Himself]].
* PlatonicBoyGirlHeroes: Pinky and Rex are a boy and a girl who are best friends. Even their mock wedding in ''Pinky and Rex Get Married'' is motivated more by a desire to remain best friends forever.
* PottyFailure: In ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Pinky and Rex and the Spelling Bee]]'', [[spoiler:the relief of winning the spelling bee causes Pinky to wet his pants in front of the entire class, since during lunch he had drunk a large amount of milk and juice out of nervousness]].

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Pinky and Rex's parents and teachers are usually portrayed this way. In ''Pinky and Rex and the Spelling Bee'', Ms. Hernandez calmly reassures Pinky [[spoiler:after he suffers an embarrassing PottyFailure and tries to get the other students to empathize with him instead of laughing]].
* SchoolPlay: In ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Pinky and Rex and the School Play]]'', the main characters act in one. Conflict arises when Pinky gets cast in a non-speaking role (a monkey), much to his chagrin, whereas Rex lands the lead role despite being uncomfortable with acting.
* SpellingBee: One is held in ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Pinky and Rex and the Spelling Bee]]''. [[spoiler:Pinky wins, as he'd hoped, but is humiliated in front of the entire class by a PottyFailure.]]
