In addition, Pippi continues her tall tales of the countries and islands and people she’s seen, whereupon most of the wincing will occur, as Lindgren peppers her speech with references to the “Hottentots” and to various made-up tribes. Pippi Goes on Board has a slightly more tolerable Pippi in terms of manners around adults than Pippi Longstocking did, but Lindgren chose instead to focus on “Pippi solves every one’s problems” for every chapter, so (almost) every chapter has Pippi saving the day in some form or fashion. It’s not that they’re bad it’s just that I spend half the time wincing and half the time rolling my eyes at Pippi’s antics. The Pippi Longstocking books are turning into one of the exceptions, I think. Rating: 2/5 Most of the time, books I grew up reading I enjoy again while reading as an adult.

Lovers of Pippi Longstocking will welcome this rollicking tale of a topsy-turvy world in which Pippi and her next-door neighbors put into practice some ideas about good times.
But then Pippi's long lost father returns, and she might have to leave Villa Villekulla From the Hans Christian Andersen Medal-winning author of the classic P ippi Longstocking, this is another rollicking adventure that's sure to please fans of the freckled, fun-loving little girl. She's been treating her friends Tommy and Annika to wild adventures, too-like buying and eating seventy-two pounds of candy, or sailing off to an island in the middle of a lake to see what it's like to be shipwrecked.
Outrageous Pippi Longstocking has no parents around and no rules to follow, so she lives according to her own daredevilish ways.
