I bought this book for my daughter's 4th birthday (I had given her the previous volume a couple of months before), and she loves it. Still a bit young to sit though the prose versions of the Strongest in the World, these comics grab her like few other books have, and I find her regularly quoting snippets of its dialogue. The balloon/panel placement is sometimes odd (one might assume that a particular character ought to speak first based on their arrangement, and would be wrong), but I chalk this up to the age of the comics, which have been lovingly restored by the publisher. If you're a Pippi fan looking to introduce youngsters to this wonderful character (and how glad I am to find such a lively and fun character upon which my own youngster can sometimes base her play) or a completist wanting to find an interpretation of the stories clearly undertaken with love of the subject matter, this is an excellent book to throw in the cart.Since this does seem to be an archival project, I would love to see some historical notes on its publication, what, if any, role Lindgren played in its production, and things like that, but that's an expectation borne of previous interactions with the work of this publisher, who often includes such things in their reprint and translation projects. Then again, if such notes were included, I might've been less inclined to think of this as a perfect gift for a 4 year-old.
These are comic style books. They contain excerpts from the original Pippi stories. The text is small and cursive so it may be difficult for young readers. The pictures are wonderful which makes the stories an interesting introduction to the comics style, and are suggestive enough that the reader can deduce and practice reading cursive writing by reading. I used these as read alouds and we fond them a grand success.
This is a wonderful strong female character that i a great advanced or starter fun reader... Pippi is NOT a princess thank goodness!
Purchased as a gift. She said she liked it.
This is a cartoon format and I was expecting a chapter book.........requested refund on book.
