Pippi Longstocking (Puffin Chalk)

I would not recommend this book for children. It has very strong negative suggestions about of people in different parts of the world. For instance, there is one chapter where Pippi appolizes for lying to her new friends then says it’s because she stayed in the Congo for too long where “there is not single person who tells the truth” (pg. 18). I was horrified as I read this with my 7 year old.

Book cake. Exactly as expected. I got it for my 6 year old daughter.. We read a chapter a night.. She loved it! The vocabulary is a little difficult because it's British and also old.. So a lot of the phrases she did not understand. It Def uses very adult vocabulary. Many of the paragraphs are describing sceneries and such with difficult language.. But mostly she understood and what she didn't I explained. In short this book is timeless and every child should. Read it.

This book is the best. It's hilarious. It's got the perfect sense of humor for about ages 5-11 or so. Brilliant.

Pippy is strong, funny, self-reliant, and so entertaining. Boys and girls alike will enjoy all the Pippi books and come to love her hijinks and kindness. I read the series to my son when he was five. He would ask for one more chapter time after time. These are great first chapter books to introduce to young readers, but probably too challenging for them to read alone. Don't miss this classic character!

My 7-year-old daughter and I are reading this book together. She is enjoying the story laughing at Pippi's antics just like I did as a kid some 50 years ago. Yeah I'm an old dad lol

Fanstastic, engaging, and funny book, enjoyable by kids 5-10 and their parents, indeed. My two boys (6 & 8) are rolling on the floor every time we read a chapter, and quoting form it too. Love it.

My 6 year old daughter is a pretty advanced reader, so we struggle finding books that are challenging enough, or take her more than a few days to finish, but still have content she can understand/relate to and is appropriate. This book fits the bill. She loves it, and seems to comprehend it easily, while still getting some challenge from the length and complexity of the text.

My daughters love reading about Pippi and her unique view of the world. This is a great bedtime book as each chapter reads as a story all its own. My 6 year old loves Pippi so much that she dressed as her for "Dress as Your Favorite Character Day" at school.This book should be in every family's collection, especially if you have little girls like I do.

Grandchildren aged 11,10 and 6 all loved it and looked forward to hearing it each night. It had been difficult to find something that suited all of their age groups ( and mixed gender). I was concerned that both Pippi's parents had died, so I skated over that bit. Also it's a bit dated as some of the discussion of people from other countries sounded racist.

We love Pippi! Just a shame that the english versions don't have the pretty designs like the original ones or there german versions

I read this book as a little girl and remember laughing along with Pippi as she had her adventures and showed that you can have huge strength both physically and of character no matter who you are. I think she's a great role model for kids, she might be a little mischievous at times but she has a kind heart and is a loyal friend.

I love Pippi Longstocking book. It was the first book i ever read and it stuck with me. I would highly recommend it to everybody no problem.

Great book, but I expected more illustrations. Bought it for a 2 year old, think it's perhaps better suited for slightly older children, so we will wait a bit, which is fine.
