Product Description
Review
Lauren Child's... version of Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking is sublime. (Amanda Craig, The Times )
[Child's] an inspired choice to hook a new generation of children on Sweden's greatest literary export. (Susanna Forest, Telegraph Review )
Some word and picture partnerships are akin to a marriage made in heaven. First there was EH Shepard and AA Milne, then Quentin Blake and Roald Dahl - now Lauren Child and Astrid Lindgren. If ever there was an illustrator born to understand the psyche and well-loved quirkiness of Pippi Longstocking and infuse it with a 21st-century edge, then Child is that artist. (Junior )
There's no stopping Lauren Child as she brings her own inimitable style to illustrate Pippi Longstocking... Everyone will love this. (The Bookseller )
Lauren Child... is the perfect choice to illustrate this handsome, large format edition of Pippi... her unmistakable illustrative style helps to bring a modern feel to the book and will enable another generation of readers to enjoy the exploits of this extraordinary little girl. (Books for Keeps )

Format:Audio CD
Bought this for our lad (who enjoys Pippi Longstocking), on the grounds that it was an unabridged reading, and we've been enjoying the gift version of the book together. An audio book would mean he could also listen in his room of an evening, and independently. Unfortunately, this is an American version, so "holidays" become "vacations" and so on. Whilst our son did enjoy the audio, he was somewhat confused by the differing vocabulary used, and initially thought we'd bought the wrong story. Our child likes to listen to audio books whilst following the printed version, or just between our readings of the same books, so we'd have preferred to know that this audio *wasn't* the same version we'd been reading.

My daughter loves this adn the books have been great too. We started with one of the books and then followed it up with this cd. This prompted the purchase of more books which my daughter is digesting with gusto!
Would make a great gift for a girl of between 5 and 8ish depending on reading ability.

Pippi is not really like other girls. Though she is just a child she lives alone in a large house with her monkey and horse. Her hair is red, her socks are two different colors and , oh yeah, she is the stongest girl in the world. A very unorthodox hero that makes Harry Potter look like an ordinary child. Wonderful.

This is read by Sarah Greene ex-Blue Peter presenter. Whilst she does an adequate job, she does not really light the story up. Read more
