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 the 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.

Love this book! Came as expected

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

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.

I would not recommend this book for children

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

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.

funny, self-reliant

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2018

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!

Best of the Best for Children's Books

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

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

Problematic/Warning if sharing with children

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2020

I loved--I mean loved Pippi Longstocking as a little girl, and I was excited to share this with my elementary school-aged daughters. As an adult, I realize how many instances of overt racism there are in the book. I skipped over a few parts...

Brought as a gift

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2022

I brought this as a gift for one of my students (7, second grade) who has expressed some nurses were calling her this because of her signature braided pigtails. She lovessss the book and even though she isn’t all the way on this level to read a book so advanced she does a pretty good job with this one. Now she loves that they call her pippy because she knows puppy’s story.

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.

Appeals to a wide range of ages

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

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.

Funny and engaging story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my nearly 6yr old for Christmas as some of my European friends introduced it to me years ago. We’ve just finished reading it to her. She loved that it has colour pictures that “look like Charlie and Lola” and found Pippi really funny. I had to change a few of the words as I read it to make it more understandable for a British child born in 2015, but on the whole it has barely dated since the 1930s!

Pippi is the kind of friend you want to go on adventures with

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

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’m not sure who loves this book more, my 5 year old daughter or her mummy! It’s become a favourite bed time story and really captures the imagination. My daughter is now drawing pictures of Pippi at every opportunity
