Slide 1: The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking by Michael Chesworth My Daughter Loves Reading Now Pippi is an irrepressible, irreverent, and irrefutably delightful nine-year-old girl who lives alone (with a monkey) in her wacky house, Villa Villekulla. When shes not dancing with the burglars who were just trying to rob her house, shes 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. Pippis high-spirited, good-natured hijinks cause as much trouble as fun, but a more generous child you wont find anywhere. Astrid Lindgren has created a unique and lovable carrot-topped character, inspiring generations of children to want to be Pippi. The first Pippi Longstocking was published in America in 1950, and this fine, newly illustrated collection includes Pippi Goes on Board and Pippi in the South Seas. Pippi makes reading pure pleasure. (Ages 7 to 10) Personal Review: The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking by Michael Chesworth
Slide 2: i loved the pippi books as a child. i love sharing them with my children. this is 3 books in one, hard bound, coffee table style book. very sturdy and has lots of black and white illustrations throughout. pippi is a wild child raising herself without parents (her mother is in heaven and her dad is a pirate king). she has a house, a horse, a monkey, and lots of gold. she is very unconventional, yet endearing. she doesn't go to school (she tries it once, but it's just not her thing) and is full of wisdom and worldly knowledge. she has lots of stories to tell the neighborhood kids about her adventures on a pirate boat, meeting cannibals and such. they are so over the top and fantastic you never know if it's true or not (and you'll have to read the books to find out). reading it again as an adult, i find some things are a bit passe (pippi talks about spanking herself when she's been bad), but i just skip over or reword the parts I don't like when reading it to my children. it's still very entertaining and funny.
