Whether or not you want to take the chance that the kid your reading to will revolt, I guess depends on whether or not they're your child or you can hand them back - or if they're old enough to read it themselves. I have no doubt most kids will love it though. I find a lot of things these days fly straight over my head that my niece and nephew think is hysterical. It probably doesn't help reading this as an adult. I liked parts of this, other parts just baffled me. With her red plaited pigtails and vibrant outlook on life she is a colourful icon and a fun and interesting character to enjoy.

Can't a person walk any way she likes? - is the type of child that would drive most adults mad. Pippi Longstocking is the type of child that would drive a parent mad. They get more than they bargained for when they find that Pippi Longstocking has moved in with her monkey, Mr Nilsson and her horse that lives on the porch because he gets in the way in the kitchen and doesn't feel comfortable in the living room. Annika and Thomas desperately wish that someone their age would move in next door so they can have a playmate. ![]()
