Customer Reviews

It's an illustrated chapter!

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.

Easy Read

This book is an excerpt from the longer Pippi Longstocking book. My daughter really enjoys these stories-they're a little difficult for her to read alone, but we can get through it together pretty easily.

A great book

This book was very fun. Pippi has many adventures which are hilarious. Pippi is very funny and she never loses hope. I chose the one about circus because it was the funniest. I like Pippi very much and I think it is a great story. by Suebin park

A really good Pippi book!

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.
