I was not too much of a Pippi fan after the first book, but it was my daughter that kept asking for more Pippi night after night. She was thrilled the Pippi adventures continued. She was sad for Tommy and Annika at Pippi's departure. My daughters enthusiasm for Pippi became contagious. Some areas of the book were long winded, so I would do selective editing while reading aloud.

Bedtime book for Charlotte. She is crazy in love with Pippi, to the point of making us call her Pippi and wanting to be Pippi for Halloween. When asked, her favorite part was when Pippi decided not to go with her father and came back to be with Tommy and Annika.

I like the original better, but my daughter really enjoyed it.

It was nice to see something that was so strongly a part of my mom’s childhood and have it remind me of when I was a kid reading similar books out loud to her. However, it must be mentioned that the way this book treats indigenous communities is horrendous, definitely did not age well. Overall, a book that has emotional meaning but lost points for the parts that aged poorly.

This is a fun romp, but not without its difficulties in the modern day. I forgot how much of the story line revolved around colonialism happening in the background (Pippi's father got washed overboard and essentially took over an island to be a "cannibal king," which is a story told in the original volume, but in this volume, the story becomes more entrenched & verified by adults in an unsettling way).
