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.

I found this book while looking for something else for my 9 year old niece for Christmas. I had a book of pippi Longstocking myself when I was a child & loved the lively stories. I was thrilled with the price & was happy with the quality of the book when it arrived. It is a great little size to hold & I'm sure she will have great fun reading it.
A book that is aimed at young girls, but is a kid's book in general. The young P L lives by herself, and has plenty of money. (Ok, well, she does have a monkey, so points for that).
Basically, she goes around having a good time, and causing havoc for any nogoodniks that get in her way.
LOL is the word for this book, i read this a very very long time ago remember, approximately 11 years ago, but basicaly its about a girl who has all these cool tokens in her house as her father used to be traveller, apparently the father got lost out at sea, and she lives by herself, getting into all kinds of mischief
