Pippi, Pippi Longstocking

May 30, 2014 by admin

IMG_1865We’ve been thoroughly enjoying discovering the world of Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Efraim’s Daughter Longstocking. What could be more delightful than reading about the escapades of a confident, incredibly strong, insightful, and energetic young woman?

Pippi lives in her inherited home, Villa Vellekulla, located in Sweden. Her mother is deceased and her father is presumed lost at sea. Pippi’s only home companions are a monkey and a horse, and she is quite content with her living situation. Pippi has also made good friends with two young siblings that reside next door.

Pippi’s daily adventures usually leave us chuckling. And her sassy comments made to overbearing or presumptious adults will leave you cheering for Pippi. She will not be forced into a cookie cutter existence. Pippi demands to be allowed to romp outdoors rather than attend daily schooling. And she loves her appearance-  a freckled, red headed, shoes-to-big, mismatched stockings, pigtailed girl.

We haven’t explored the tv or movie versions of Pippi. Perhaps we never will. But we love the girl we’ve met on the page. Pippi is a fabulous role model for any child!
