This glorious oversize edition, felicitously translated, celebrates the hundredth anniversary of Lindgren's birth. Child has outdone herself in conveying the mayhem and magic of Pippi's world. Using her trademark collages and clever typographical designs, she makes us believe that Pippi can hardly be contained within the pages and might come bursting forth the minute we turn our backs.

Gr 2-5-This oversize edition of the classic story has much to offer a new generation of readers. It has new full-color illustrations, some full spread, and a new translation. Nunnally updates some of Florence Lamborn's old-fashioned phrases and makes other terms more politically correct. For example, the original English translation calls Pippi's father a "Cannibal King," while this one calls him a "King of Natives." In Lamborn's version, Pippi goes for a "morning promenade"; here, she simply goes for a "morning walk." Nunnally's language flows naturally and gives a fresh, modern feel to the line drawings, filled with color and pattern, to create a Pippi who is full of personality. A variety of perspectives, colors, and textures adds movement and excitement to the story. Child often incorporates the text into the art, linking the text and illustration into a single whole. Libraries should consider archiving (or retiring) older editions of this old favorite, and replacing them with this new offering.-Donna Cardon, Provo City Library, UT Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.

 The beloved story of a spunky young girl and her hilarious escapades.

"A rollicking story."--The Horn Book

Tommy and his sister Annika have a new neighbor, and her name is Pippi Longstocking. She has crazy red pigtails, no parents to tell her what to do, a horse that lives on her porch, and a flair for the outrageous that seems to lead to one adventure after another!
