Who goes to the circus and rides on the back of a horse—and on the back of the ringmaster, too? Who walks the tightrope and does better tricks than any acrobat? And who dares to lift Adolf, the strongest man in the world? Why it's Pippi Longstocking, of course. No one's ever seen a circus like this before, because when Pippi goes to the show, she doesn't just watch, she takes over! The Pippi Longstocking storybooks, excerpted from the original novels with Astrid Lindgren's assistance, are perfect for young readers and listeners just getting ready to enter the amazing, crazy world of Pippi and her friends.

It's an illustrated chapter!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pippi Goes to the Circus (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought this book to read to my 7-year-old before bed, thinking it was something we could enjoy over several nights. Luckily I have a 4-year-old as well, because this is just a single chapter from the longer Pippi books, illustrated on every page, and far more appropriate for a smaller child. It only takes about 5 minutes to get through.
It's good, just be warned.

A really good Pippi book!,
This review is from: Pippi Goes to the Circus (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a really good Pippi Longstocking book! It's not so many girls that's strong as her... and not many boys either. In this book she and her friends goes to the circus, and Pippi really likes it. It's so funny when she shows the strong man that shes stronger than him... Almost every one loves Pippi, cause she's so charming and nice. And al the Pippi books can be read by both children and grown upps. I can really recomend this book.
