* AuthorsSavingThrow: The original ''Pinkalicious'' book series faced some criticism for allegedly bad morals, Pinkalicious's bratty behavior, and for [[GirlShowGhetto being too "girly"]]. Here, Pinkalicious is a nicer and more imaginative character, and is a bit of a GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak. She also has more male friends.
** The show actually did an adaptation of the first ''Pinkalicious'' book, and it also proves to be a saving throw. Pinkalicious initially doesn't want to eat green foods, but then when she turns red, she does eat the green foods and doesn't complain about it at all.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: '''And how!'''. Despite the original ''Pinkalicious'' books being New York Times bestsellers, the audience reception to them has been pretty negative for several reasons, such as that Pinkalicious is a spoiled brat, its girliness and the bad lessons in them[[note]]For example, the first book had the Aesop that vegetables are yucky, and ''Purplicious'' had a BrokenAesop about bullying[[/note]]. However, this show, while still retaining some problems from the books, fixes many of them. Pinkalicious is now a creative, imaginative girl and a better big sister to Peter. While the show may be based off of a girly book franchise, Pinkalicious has male friends (one of which is her brother) in her friendship circle, Peter also shares the spotlight with her (though Pinkalicious is more in the spotlight), and Pinkalicious is somewhat of a GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak [[https://twitter.com/PBSKIDS/status/953316104306380801 according to this Tweet]]. Finally, while the books teach pro-social "morals", this show aims to teach kids about the visual arts, self-expression, and the like. For example, "Plantastically Pink" teaches viewers about tempo. Justified since this show ''is'' on Creator/PBSKids.

The friends have also taken on more important roles. A lot of people have sent me pictures of their boys reading the books, even though the word ‘pink’ is on the cover. When we tested the show, they all liked the music and the whimsical look. They especially loved the episode about a Pinkatoo bird that goes missing.”
** And now, [[http://www.pbs.org/parents/expert-tips-advice/2018/03/pink-meets-eye/ there is a PBS Parents article]] written by one of the show's crew members about how there is more to pink than meets the eye.
-->"We also hope that, for the girls out there who love all things pink and girly, Pinkalicious gives them a role model who is valued by her community: a girl who is never made to feel like she has to choose between loving pink and being a smart, creative thinker… because she is valued as both."

Pinkalicious tries to prove to him that his painting is good because Mr. Crunk and Mr. and Mrs. Plum like it. Even though they like it, he still doesn't. This shows that just because everyone likes something, it doesn't automatically mean it's good. The episode also teaches that not everyone is going to have the same opinions as you, and that's okay.
** The lesson is made more explicit in "A Birthday Party for Kendra," where we learn that Kendra doesn't have birthday parties, preferring a quiet game night with her parents. Pinkalicious and the others throw her a loud, colorful party anyway, making Kendra visibly uncomfortable, before giving her a party she actually likes by taking her preferences into account. Doing nice things for others means thinking about what they like, not about what you like.
