For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleI am so torn in how to rate this book. While there were aspects that I absolutely loved, others things haven't aged well.One thing I loved about this short, fun, whimsical book is that each chapter reads like a short story. There isn't necessarily a pl...

Love, love, love Pippi! This is by far my favorite childhood series. Pippi and her shenanigans always make me smile. The narration was good, not great. But the story more than made up for it.

I definitely enjoyed this one much more when I was a child. As an adult, I find Pippi annoying at times. It's still a fun book, but there are other children's books I'd much rather read over again.

Me and the boy just loved this. This was a reread from childhood for me, new for him. Pippi's adventures, and mistakes are just plain fun. This book gave him and memories, and time we'll spent together. What a blast.

This is a review of a new translation of a children's classic. My comments and the number of stars this edition gets has nothing to do with my adoration of Pippi Longstocking, which my review of the previous edition should make pretty clear.I'm always wildly excited to hear of new translations of bo...

Yet another book that’s even more entertaining when you reread it as an adult. In fact, we need Pippi more than ever now. I did, anyway. At a time in my life when it’s too easy for me to feel cynical and angry pretty much nonstop, it was a relief to revisit Pippi’s humor, honesty, complex simplicity...

A very charming book. It has a plot similar to The Cat in the Hat where two ordinary children have their lives turned upside down, by the arrival of a bizarre stranger, in this case Pippi.There are lots of nice absurdities that are treated as matters of fact. The book is well written and entertain...
