Book Review: Pippi Goes on Board by Astrid Lindgren (Pippi Longstocking 2)

 Here's the customary plot: 

Outrageous Pippi Longstocking has no parents around and no rules to follow, so she lives according to her own daredevilish ways. She's been treating her friends Tommy and Annika to wild adventures, too--like buying and eating seventy-two pounds of candy, or sailing off to an island in the middle of a lake to see what it's like to be shipwrecked. But then Pippi's long lost father returns, and she might have to leave Villa Villekulla!

From the Hans Christian Andersen Medal-winning author of the classic Pippi Longstocking, this is another rollicking adventure that's sure to please fans of the freckled, fun-loving little girl.

"Lovers of Pippi Longstocking will welcome this rollicking tale of a topsy-turvy world in which Pippi and her next-door neighbors put into practice some ideas about good times." - School Library Journal

 

My Review:

This is a reread of the books that I read as a kid. I always liked reading the Pippi Longstocking books. They're a quick fun read. 

 Rereading this book makes me happy. It's such a fun read. I enjoyed it yet again. 

What's not to love about Pippi Longstocking? She's a fun loving kid. 

I've always enjoyed reading the Pippi Longstocking books and this one is no different. Pippi, along with Tommy and Annika always have such fun and adventures. 

As always, this is a 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ book. Remember, it's always fun to revisit the books you enjoyed as a kid. It's allowed.
