Pippi always does things her own way. When she cleans her kitchen, she ties scrub brushes to her feet. When she has a picnic, she serves pancakes. One thing is for sure—-there's never a dull moment when Pippi is around! "Pippi Longstocking...has inspired generations of children with her spunk and power."— Kirkus Reviews
