This is about a 9 year that is an orphan that takes care of herself and her monkey.
I like this book because this little girl has over come obstackles, she doesn't let anything stand in her way.
I would use this book in the classroom to show the kids how strong she is, and that she never gives up.

Brilliant to read and chill out at the same time. 3 Books in one, the first book introduces you to Pippi Longstocking, the 2nd book 'Pippi in the South Seas', tells of her travels to the South Seas where she and her friends Tommy and Annika stay on an island where Pipppi's dad is the cannibal king.

The 3rd book, ' Pippi goes Aboard' tells how Pippi recreates a shipwreck for her and her friends to enjoy. I first read Pippi Longstocking as a 10 year old way back in 1969 - 70 and it was an instant attraction. Back then i was just learning to read a whole book and i liked the way each chapter held a mini adventure and made me laugh. Back then, i likened myself to PIppi who has a very creative mind and makes up stories, believing them to be true. Like her i believed that i could climb the highest tree, swing like a monkey, swim and play in ditches, sail a pirate ship ( a log in the river) etc. For those who do not know who Pippi Longstocking is, she is the strongest girl, who lives at Villekulla Cottage with her pet monkey, Mr Nelson, and a horse. Pippi is 10 years old, her father is lives on a Pacific Island where he is the king and her mother died when she was young. Pippi and her father (who was a pirate- a terror of the seas) became separated when they were shipwrecked, he landed on an island and she at Villekulla. Each chapter in each book is a mini short story and although the storylines are totally unrealistic they are guaranteed to make you laugh or remind you to remember what it was like when you were a child and to treasure the small things in life like splashing in puddles, having a picnic, pretending a stick is a wand to make magic.

The power of Pippi is in just how well her stories stand the test of time, they're as wonderful and fresh as they were generations ago. I mostly knew her at first from the 80's live action film but I think now she has earned a spot next to Ramonia in my book.
