As a child I never read Pippi Longstocking, but I think I would have loved it if I had. I saw this wonderful edition, illustrated by Lauren Child, while we were glamping and I had to buy it there and then.
It saved our bacon as we got stuck in a major traffic jam shortly afterwards. Thankfully the boys were totally enthralled by Pippi's shenanigans. Well, if you don't count several billion interruptions from Johnny demanding to be shown the pictures.
I know the Ragged Roses household are loving their copy too.

Must. Buy. This. Book. NOW.
As I think you know, we're huge Lauren Child fans. We're also huge Pippi fans (I may have to post a picture of Lola from two Halloweens ago as evidence). Lola is already getting the second Clarice Bean book for her birthday. She might have to get this one too.

Pippi Longstocking was one of my favorites as a child--she had the very best adventures.

I just checked and the book is available for pre-order in the States. I looked at books-a-million.com (my favorite) and they have it listed. Completely different cover art, though. I need to place my order soon!

I love, love, love Pippi - I must find this new edition - those are the greatest illustrations! Do you and the kids know Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle?
