Pippi Longstocking

Astrid Lindgren

3.95 AVERAGE


It's another classic that is charming and uncomfortably dated at the same time. It's Amelia Bedelia meets Mary Poppins - so if you like quirky and frustrating women, this book is for you. I laughed at the sarcasm and fun, but it also suffered from no main plotline other than "random adventures and tangents".

Eleanor loved reading about Pippi's adventures.

Read aloud to my 7 yr old. We both loved this story, it was a lot of fun and lots of nonsense. Pefect!

olen Lindgreni rootsi keeles enne päris palju lugenud (see oli keeleõppe alustamise ajal hea mugav, sest lood olid nii peas, et sõnastikku ei läinud liiga palju vaja), aga Pipit vist ei olnud. igatahes ei teadnud, et kakskordkaks on rootsi keeles "pluttifikatsionstabell", ja muid uudis- ja unarsõnu leidsin siit enda jaoks ka.

see on esimene raamat kolmest Pipi-raamatust, nagu nad rootsi keeles ilmusid, nii et siin ei ole üldse neid Lõunamere-lugusid, mida ma tegelikult oleksin tahtnud mäluvärskenduseks üle lugeda; aga siin on mitu sellist juttu, mida minu lapsepõlveaegses Pipi-tõlkes ülds eei olnud ja mida ma alles 2000ndate alguses täiskasvanuna esimest korda kohtasin. imelikud ja võõrad on nad ikka ja niiviisi suure inimese seisukohast lugedes on täitsa aru saada, miks Pipi omal ajal korralike inimeste hulgas skandaali tekitas. ikka päris kohutav lapsuke tegelikult :D

Nothing but fun from start to finish. Pippi is a host unto herself and unbridled joy, if occasionally a bit much.

The first novel I read to my daughter, age 5. We read a chapter or two before bed each night and she liked the ridiculous things Pippi would do. Neither of us fell in love with the characters and we will move on to other novels and characters.

A bit dated, but cute. My kids enjoyed listening to it while we took a car trip.
I recommend pulling it up to entertain kids from ages 5 to 12.

I adore Pippi! I never read the books but I did see the movie way long back when. I adored the movie and I adore the book!

Fun and silly escapades. It was not our family's favorite read-aloud, but there were enough moments that made us laugh out loud to keep us interested.
