Pippi Longstocking is about Pippi and her adventures with her new neighbors, Tommy and Annika. Pippi lives alone in an old house, but that doesn’t stop her from having fun. Her adventures include going to the circus, having a picnic with her friends, and her own birthday party. Might I add that she is the strongest girl in the whole world? Yep, and this book is full of crazy stories and excitement. The only thing is that I wish the book was longer, but it’s still good. :)

The beloved story of a spunky young girl and her hilarious escapades.
Tommy and his sister Annika have a new neighbor, and her name is Pippi Longstocking. She has crazy red pigtails, no parents to tell her what to do, a horse that lives on her porch, and a pet monkey named Mr. Nilsson. Whether Pippi’s scrubbing her floors, doing arithmetic, or stirring things up at a fancy tea party, her flair for the outrageous always seems to lead to another adventure.

I love Pippi she is the best character other then the monkey Mr. Nilsson. It is about a nine year old girl who has lost her mom when she was young and her father to the sea(she thinks that he is the king of the cannibals.) She also has a neighbor with two kids called Annika and Tommy. they are very nice children and they all have adventures together most of the time with Mr. Nilsson and some times with Pippi horse. The things that Pippi does : moves into Villa Villekulla(the house), thing finder and gets into a fight, plays tag with some Police men, goes to school, sits on a gate and climes a tree.
i heard that it is a great and funny book.i want to read it because it is funny and the girl has big dreams.
This book is about a 9-year old girl that has a wild imagination. There are variety of clever vocabulary words that just make you laugh. It is a very entertaining book. I highly recommend you spend time with Pippi.
