adventurous lighthearted fast-paced

Read this with Clara. Happy to hear her laugh out loud at all the right places, but overall the book was not as good as my memory of it.

I hadn't read Pippi since I was a kid. It holds up quite well. The chapter where she has tea with the ladies makes me laugh especially hard.
adventurous funny lighthearted fast-paced

A re-read of an old favorite. Very cute. A well-done precocious child protagonist. Take note, Anne of Green Gables.

Indisputably the best children's book of all times.

This was a joy to read and it’s immediately apparent why it’s still popular at nearly 80 years old.
