I like the chapter where Pippi went to the circus because she asked for a ticket and played with all the acrobatic people. She does really weird stuff like compete with the strongest man in the world, and beat him. She also got some money for winning and it was paper money and she said “what should I do with this piece of paper?” which was really funny. It is almost like she is magic because she is really strong, strong enough to pick up a horse and a cow. She eats meatballs on a picnic, and gave a little boy a dagger, and a little girl also got a present of jewels.
The pictures are drawn by Lauren Child so they are very creative and use lots of different things like wall papers, floorboards, material and drawings. I like the colours.
Pippi sings a really weird song which ends with “rice pudding is the best on a Saturday morning”. It is funny because the others were all singing a different song with the same tune.
My message to all the other children would be: it is really good and funny and you should read it. I really would recommend this book to everyone else.
