The classic children's story of a feisty red-headed, orphaned girl with super-strength. Pippi reminds me a bit of Amelia Bedelia as she can be quite literal, but she is a good friend to have around. When I saw that Astrid Lindgren was Swedish and this book was set in Sweden, I had to squeeze in a read this summer!

I first read this in 1978, and I loved it. Just reread it; and while I still love Pipp, the story didn't excite me the same way it did when I was a kid.

This is definitely a book to read as a kid, but you realize many problematic themes as you get older.

I’m not going to lie, I found Pippi insufferable. I can see why kids love it and why people are nostalgic about this book, but reading this for the first time as an adult did not endear it to me.

A nice little palate cleanser between my first steps onto the year. A children's book is always bound to show you a silver lining whenever you need it, and that's exactly what this did to me!
Cute read if you need a lil pick me up.
