Well, this one certainly aged worse than the other ones. Especially if you have an old version which has not yet removed the usage of the N-word. It's definitely a bit racist, not in bad faith but it's still there.

Only so-so. Honestly, I couldn't get passed all the "little black children" references. Lots of read aloud editing. Ouch. Otherwise, a typical Pippi book, which the girls find hilarious.

I enjoyed the first Pippi book. This had some fun moments and it didn't really draw me in the same way. It is strange Pippi would choose to live separate from her father. Pippi is a strong and fun character. I enjoy that about her. Maybe children would enjoy it more than an adult.

I don't remember reading this as a kid, at least not this one. I enjoyed it now though as an adult!

I remember loving this book when I was little. And I did a book report presentation on it with my super long read hair in two braids with a straightened wire hanger through them so they stuck out like Pippi.
