Product Details


Product Description

From Amazon.com

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)

From AudioFile

Everyone's favorite irrepressible and independent girl leaps from the speakers as Esther Benson spares no effort to channel the fun and spunk of Pippi. It's refreshing to hear such an unjaded story in today's cynical world. Listen as Pippi takes on the establishment, burglars, and conventional villagers who can't grasp her fearlessness. Strangely, she is never chastised for being who she is. We need more of the Pippi spirit as portrayed here--free, heroic, and uncompromising. A must for all children, and some adults.

5.0 out of 5 stars I recommend to any age!, Oct 29 2006
This review is from: Pippi Longstocking (Paperback)
What are countless memories but figments of our imaginations? Long-lost dreams that are no longer here? We can only renew one type of memory and have the same joy, same ecasticy as the first time. Books are these memories.

This book is filled with friends, to yellow houses, to monkeys named Mr. Nilson, all the way to a happy birthday ending.

Follow the hysterical, laugh-out-loud adventures of Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Efraim's Daughter Longstocking, origaanilly Pippilotta Viktualia Rullgardina Krusmynta Efraimsdotter Långstrump in this cherished children's book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Greatest Female Characters Ever Created, Sep 8 2005
By J. H. Sweet - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Pippi Longstocking (Paperback)
It was very empowering for me as a child to read Pippi's adventures. Her independence, common sense, strength, resourcefulness, and compassion were a tremendous inspiration to me and continue to be very commendable qualities. I don't believe much was lost in the translation of these books because the storytelling flows superbly and is exciting, engaging, and enduring. As a youngster, my favorite elements of these stories included Pippi's horde of gold, pet horse, physical strength, fantastic adventures, and red hair. As an adult, I am drawn to the heroine's wisdom and goodness of spirit. For adults who read Pippi as a child, I recommend a revisit to her world for a fresh view of her character as well as delightful reminiscing. This is terrific reading for all ages both girls and boys.

J.H. Sweet, author of The Fairy Chronicles

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun to Read, Jun 30 2004
This review is from: Pippi Longstocking (Paperback)
This is a fun and silly novel about a girl with mind-boggling strength, intense zest for life, spontaneity, and no desire for practicality. It is light-hearted and fun to read.
