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.

Was excited to purchase this "comic book" style version of the stories for my niece and nephew who are big fans of the Pippi movie. But unfortunately I think the translation really misses the mark on this book. It almost reads like an awkward software language translation and it barely makes sense to an adult, let alone to a child.

Funny, makes my grandchildren laugh.
