Pippi in the South Seas (Pippi Longstocking)

Though Pippi does not look like the original Pippi my daughter still loves the story.

If you like Pippi Longstocking, this is one of the 3 originals. Frankly, I thought she was a brat and didn't enjoy it.

We read these to our children and now I read them to my wife, who had a stroke. Very entertaining and wholesome.

I felt glad there is one more book about Pippi. This book starts right where we left in the previous book, so it focuses that the book introduces Pippi still live in Villa Villekulla. Then you can find more about her and her friendship with two siblings Tommy and Annika, and additional episodes with Pippi's father and their voyage to South Sea. Such a bonus but it's good.

My daughter enjoyed this book quite a bit. I only gave it 4 stars because she liked the original Pippi book much better than this one, and it took her nearly a week to finish this. If she really loves a book, she'll read it in 1 day.

Fun stuff, 5 year old was able to follow the story and enjoy it for many many evenings (it's quite long book). Some stuff might be "controversial" for Texans (my daughter was shocked that Pippi doesn't really respect teachers) but Pippi is coming from Scandinavia...

It's a great story about a fearless, impossibly fortunate little girl. However, parents be aware, it was written by a Swede in the 1950s, and there are mild racial topics and talk of cannibalism. Probably suitable for 7+, although my 5 year old absolutely loves the books, and this one is her favorite (it doesn't hurt that there is a character called Moana). The translation could be modernized, too.

I purchased these 3 Pippi books for my granddaughter who is a prolific reader. She read all 3 in one day and absolutely LOVED them! Received a precious thank you card just a few days later. I read all the Pippi books to my daughters when they were young. One even dressed as Pippi for Halloween one year. Used a coathanger for the brades. Good times.

Very good childrens book by best authour ever Astrid Lindgren.

My daughter really enjoyed this book, Great Story from an 80's classic series.

Meine Enkelin mit dem Namen in der Kurzform Pippa identifiziert sich mit Pippi Lopngstocking. Kürzlich überraschte sie mich im Video mit Zöpfen.

今回は主に、航海と南国での生活がメインになっています。どこに行ってもピッピはピッピで、マイペースを貫きます。お見事です。ビー玉の代わりに真珠を使うなんて・・・なんてゴージャスなんでしょう。毎章必ず何かが起きるので、英語読解を始めたいと思っていらっしゃる方にもおすすめです。個人的に若干気になるのが、ラストの終わり方が妙に寂しすぎる点でしょうか。

Good book for kids
