Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently read a short Pippi story to my kids that was from the original translation. It had magic and charm to the words - odd little phrases that made Pippi seem like a unique quirky child who had traveled the seven seas. That prompted me to order this colorful volume. Unfortunately, this translation lacks that same magic of words. After reading about 20 pages, my kids were yawning and uninterested. I plan to return this version and try the "Adventures of Pippi Longstocking" which is reported to be written with the original translation.
I should say however that my kids enjoyed the illustrations. They are drawn by the same person who draws the Charlie and Lola kids shows - very cute.
Please be kind enough to indicate if reviews are helpful.
