My 8 year old had to read Pippi Longstocking for school. She loved it, so I decided to buy other books about Pippi Longstocking. I bought Pippi's Extraordinary Ordinary Day and Pippi Goes to the Circus from Amazon. Both of these books, however, have the same message at the top of the copyright page: "The text to this book has been excerpted, with Astrid Lindgren's assistance, from two chapters in Pippi Longstocking." The two excerpted books are much better illustrated than the original Pippi Longstocking, but after having already read the original all my daughter did was quickly look through these books at the pictures and never touched them again. The bottom line is that these books are not worth having if you have the original book, Pippi Longstocking.

i thought i'd found a pippi we hadn't read before, but this is merely a (more heavily illustrated) excerpt from the original "pippi"--which can be had in its entirety for the same price!

This is a great read for all ages, I read all three in the series to my daughter when she was 6 and she loved them. It is great to have a female character who is so outrageous, the antics she gets up to are so funny. An astoundingly good book, get it now.

I bought this book for my niece aged 8 who is also a bookworm in her own domain. She enjoyed it thoroughly and goes back for a chapter or 2 from time to time "just to live in that world for a while" in her own words.

I purchased the original Pippi Longstocking book for my twins and they became big fans, They find the stories to be funny and the characters have captured their imagination. We are gradually working our way through all the books.This has been on of their favourites.

great book read it when i was little. my daughter has to do book reports and this one was recommended by the school.

The book was in great condition. It was a gift for my grand daughter.
