Way out in a tiny town was an old evergreen gardern, and in that garden was a house, and in that house lived a little girl named Pippi Longstockings. Pippi was an unusual girl. Pippi had firery red hair. She always wore big shoes. Next to Pippi lived two kids. Their names were Tommy and Anikka.

Pippi had no mother. Her mother had died and she was an angel. Pippi had no father neither. When Pippi and her father were out on the sea (her father was a sailor) he had fallen off the ship. Pippi thought he was a cannibal king. So, her mother was an angel and her father was a cannibal king. Pippi had a monkey and her monkey's name was Mr. Nilsson.

In the book Pippi get into alot of trouble. I liked the book. I thought it was funny. Pippi makes life interesting, to have Pippi make life interesting for you check out Pippi Longstockings at your school or local library.
