1) Hardcover Book The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking by Viking Juvenile. When my Danish sister-in-law gave my four-year-old daughter Pippi Longstocking, I was shocked. My daughter did not like to read, and giving a four-year-old a chapter book seemed ambitious even for a child who adored books.
What I discovered is that my daughter did not like to read because I had been choosing for her the wrong stories. At four, she was ready for more ambitious reading, yet I was still offering her picture books.
My daughter loves reading now. She adores Pippi. The trilogy is perfect children´s literature.¤ 2) Hardcover Book The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking by Viking Juvenile. i loved the pippi books as a child. i love sharing them with my children. this is 3 books in one, hard bound, coffee table style book. very sturdy and has lots of black and white illustrations throughout.
pippi is a wild child raising herself without parents (her mother is in heaven and her dad is a pirate king). she has a house, a horse, a monkey, and lots of gold. she is very unconventional, yet endearing. she doesn´t go to school (she tries it once, but it´s just not her thing) and is full of wisdom and worldly knowledge. she has lots of stories to tell the neighborhood kids about her adventures on a pirate boat, meeting cannibals and such. they are so over the top and fantastic you never know if it´s true or not (and you´ll have to read the books to find out).
reading it again as an adult, i find some things are a bit passe (pippi talks about spanking herself when she´s been bad), but i just skip over or reword the parts I don´t like when reading it to my children. it´s still very entertaining and funny.¤ 3) Hardcover Book The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking by Viking Juvenile. It was one of my favorite book when I was a little girl.
Pippi is darling, funny,and adventorous!
I still love to read the story to myself.
¤ 4) Hardcover Book The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking by Viking Juvenile. I found this book, when I started looking for the Pippi books I remembered from my childhood. Pippi is still as fun and entertaining as ever. I enjoyed reading the stories as an adult as much as I enjoyed them as a child. The book is beautiful with wonderful drawings. This is one of the rare books, where the illustrations bring to life what I imagined. I will enjoy it for many years to come!¤ 5) Hardcover Book The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking by Viking Juvenile. Very good book with hilarious stories about Pippi. Great for kids and adults.¤ 6) Hardcover Book The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking by Viking Juvenile. An enticing, newly illustrated collection of the enduringly popular Pippi stories. Since Pippi Longstocking was first published in 1950, the escapades of the incomparable Pippi,the girl with upside-down braids and no parents to tell her what to do, have delighted boys and girls alike. Now, for the first time, Pippi Longstocking, Pippi Goes on Board, and Pippi in the South Seas are all together in one bumper volume, with new illustrations in full-color and black-and-white. The collection is an ideal introduction for anyone discovering Pippi for the first time, while confirmed fans will enjoy revisiting their favorite episodes and recalling some they´ve forgotten. Her admirers will also find fascinating new biographical information about author Astrid Lindgren and the origin of the Pippi stories. Astrid Lindgren was awarded the 1958 Hans Christian Andersen Medal for her contribution to international children´s literature.¤ 7) Hardcover Book The Adventures of Pippi Longstocking by Viking Juvenile. Pippi is an irrepressible, irreverent, and irrefutably delightful nine-year-old girl who lives alone (with a monkey) in her wacky house, Villa Villekulla. When she´s not dancing with the burglars who were just trying to rob her house, she´s attempting to learn the "pluttification" tables at school; fighting Adolf, the strongest man in the world at the circus; or playing tag with police officers. Pippi´s high-spirited, good-natured hijinks cause as much trouble as fun, but a more generous child you won´t find anywhere. Astrid Lindgren has created a unique and lovable carrot-topped character, inspiring generations of children to want to be Pippi. The first Pippi Longstocking was published in America in 1950, and this fine, newly illustrated collection includes Pippi Goes on Board and Pippi in the South Seas. Pippi makes reading pure pleasure. (Ages 7 to 10)¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 21-Nov-2008, 06708761279780670876129, 9X0-170-640-940-270-C8B-8
