Dit boek is zo'n 80 jaar oud en dat kan je merken. Het boek komt niet erg goed over nu kolonisatie niet meer zo wordt geaccepteerd. Maar als je in je achterhoofd houd hoe oud het boek is valt er nog zeker te genieten van Pippi's avonturen.

Read to Russell. Every kids dream, adventuring to a far off island where the kids play all day. Sometimes needs so parental explanation (that’s actually very dangerous!!)

In this installment, Pippi, Tommy, and Annika visit Pippi's father on Kurrekurredutt Island in the South Seas. Even though the location has changed, most of the chapters had a bit of that "more of the same" feel.
Pippi is as adventurous, optimistic, brave, selfless, and loyal as always. While on the island, Pippi faces down two sea-faring bandits who were up to no good, similar to the way in which she handled two would-be burglars in the first book.
One chapter that stands out to me takes place before the children take their sea voyage. Pippi participates in a bizarre event in which some seemingly random person in town subjects all the school children to a high-stress verbal examination that results in either public praise or public shaming, depending on how well each child answers her questions. In this day and age, it seems like such a terrible situation in which the poor kids are labeled "good" or "stupid", and completely traumatized if the latter. Thankfully, Pippi saves a bunch of children from disgrace with her usual good-hearted sense of justice.
I particularly enjoyed the ending, and would really give this book 3 1/2 stars if I could. Pippi, as usual, completely and selflessly devotes her time and energy to making her dear friends Tommy and Annika happy. The last couple pages had a kind of wistfulness to them, as the three children hope to never grow up, and Tommy and Annika take comfort in knowing that Pippi will "always" be at Villa Villekulla.

Goofy. Fun. High-spirited.
Story: In this third book in the Pippi Longstocking series, Pippi is back at Villekulla Cottage with her horse, monkey and her friends Tommy and Annika. But she's not there for long, she's off to the South Seas for more adventure!
Characters: Pippi is a red-haired, freckle-faced girl who lives alone in Villekulla Cottage. She tells lies, tricks adults, and (almost) everyone adores her. Tommy and Annika are the neighbor children and they get caught up in her adventures, though are much more grounded than Pippi.
Language: Each chapter is short and features a starting picture. Although Pippi doesn't go to school she attempts to use big words, but often wrong. She also likes inventing new words. Pippi is a family friendly series, accessible to all ages.
A nice quick light-hearted read.
