Victoria Kann at Vero Beach Book Center

Victoria Kann & fan at Vero Beach Book Center
   I've been looking for an excuse to make the near two-hour drive to Vero to visit the Vero Beach Book Center, an independent store that hosts bestselling authors with regularity. March 4, a well-known children's author gave me just that opportunity. Victoria Kann, author of the Pinkalicious series of children's books visited the store to promote the newest in the series, Aqualicious.
     Pinkalicious is one of my daughter's favorite books, along with Fancy Nancy. She owns almost all of the books in the Pinkalicious series--Pinkalicious, Silverlicious, Purplelicious, Emeraldlicious, Goldilicious—and was thrilled to hear that there was a new one coming out. So my wife and I plotted to take her out of school early and make the drive to see Mrs. Kann read from her newest book. Unfortunately, we arrived too late for the reading, but were able to get my daughter's book signed. In the audience were girls in there most pinkeriffic outfits, including some with wings and tiaras. The author was more than willing to pose for photos with her young fans, and even took suggestions for the next color in the series. I heard someone suggest Camolicious.
     As for the bookstore itself, it's a wonderful two-story building with the second floor dedicated entirely to children. They offer a wide selection of new and used books, as well as authographed copies from some of the world's finest authors. I was short on time and was unable to spend as much time as I would have liked in the store, but will definitely be making a return trip, perhaps when Harlan Coben stops there next month.
