Pippi Longstocking
by Asrid Lindgren

Pippi Longstocking

Grades 2 & up

Fantasy

The Children of Noisy Village

Book Summary:
Whether she is entertaining burglars or joining the circus, Pippi has a style all her own. Readers are often intrigued by a super-strong girl who lives in a house without any parents. Each chapter works as a mini-story.

 Book Review:
There is something charmingly escapist about a child who lives alone and manages her affairs perfectly well without adults. While Pippi's adventures are pretty outrageous and not recommended for trial at home, they are full of lighthearted fun.

Fun Fact: This book was first published in Sweden in 1945.
