Pippi Longstocking is a 9 years old girl that lives in a big old colorful house called “Villa Motley” outside of a village. She has long red hair that she wears in braids that stick out of her head. She wears very big shoes, probably size 46, because she likes to have space in her shoes to wiggle her toes. Pippi Longstocking does not go to school and she lives without her parents. Her full name is Pippilotta Viktualia Rollgardina Pfefferminz Ephraim’s daughter Longstocking. She has a horse called “Littler Uncle” and a little monkey called “Mr. Nielson”. She can lift her horse up with her hands. Because she is so strong and has no fear, she can live with out a grown-up. Pippi is full of mischief all the time and she is very adventurous.

The book is funny and interesting because there is always something going on.

I recommend this book for children 7 till 10.

I just don't quite feel right making any judgments on this story until I have been able to finish it myself, so for now I will withhold my commentary. I will say, however, that I have enjoyed it so far and look forward to finishing it tomorrow.

I remember enjoying this and other Pippi Longstocking books as a child, but not so much as an adult: Perhaps I no longer find her lack of self-control and her inability to think about the consequences of her actions less amusing and more disturbing. ( )

This is a story of a little girl living in a big house in a Swedish village. She lives with her monkey and horse. Her father, a pirate, was lost at sea. In the book she shares outrageous adventures with her neighbors Tommy and Anika. Pippi has extreme strength and if full of extravagant stories. Each chapter is another adventure, from her saving children from a burning house to stopping theives from stealing her money.
This ia great read-aloud book for first graders. Each chapter reads like it's own story. Very outrageous and fun. ( )
