Editorial Reviews:

"A rollicking story of Pippi who lives without any grownups in a little house at the edge of the village. The matter-of-fact way in which her absurd adventures are related is one of the chief charms of this story."--The Horn Book.

Pippi is an irrepressible, irreverent, and irrefutably delightful girl who lives alone (with a monkey) in her wacky house, Villa Villekulla. When she's not dancing with the burglars who were just trying to rob her house, she's attempting to learn the "pluttification" tables at school; fighting Adolf, the strongest man in the world at the circus; or playing tag with police officers. Pippi's high-spirited, good-natured hijinks cause as much trouble as fun, but a more generous child you won't find anywhere.

Astrid Lindgren has created a unique and lovable character, inspiring generations of children to want to be Pippi. More than anything, Pippi makes reading a pleasure; no child will welcome the end of the book, and many will return to Pippi Longstocking again and again. Simply put, Pippi is irresistible. (Ages 9 to 12)

2 out of 5 stars Good story but galling audiobook

The story is good but perhaps a bit boring for children under 7 or 8 years of age. The narrator of the audiobook does a decent job but is not as lively as other narrators I have heard and unfortunately grossly mispronounces the name of one of the three main characters (which, given the number of times she is mentioned, becomes galling).

5 out of 5 stars classic

This is a great book that I bought for my daughter for her last novel of the year.

4 out of 5 stars Good Fun

My children and I loved the stories. Watch out for the last story however. The generous Pippi shares guns with her friends. I had to explain to my six year old that this is from a different time in a different country and that she should never ever touch a gun.

4 out of 5 stars Pippi Longstocking (not cut out for a 1st grader)

The book is a classic and I love it but it definitely is not reading material for a 1st grader. I bought this for Christmas (although Amazon promised to get it here by then and it came December 27th) I will give it to my daugher for her 7yr b-day.

5 out of 5 stars Kids shoudl love Pippi

This book is excellent for young and old. It needs to be in everyone's library. Buy it for an 8 year old relative, but read it before you wrap it up!
