Reading Review
Pippi Longstocking
‘Pippi Longstocking’ is my favorite book because it is funny, inspires courage and it’s energising to read. The main characters are Pippi, Tommy and Anika who are best friends in the book. They do many fun and adventurous things together such as picnicking, shopping and traveling.
I learnt that Pippi is a great friend, I would love to be one of her friends. She takes care of herself and others very well. For example, one time Anika doesn’t know how to get on a horse, so Pippi lifts her up there. Pippi kind-hearted, funny and most of all, very strong. She is the strongest girl in the world and in fact, she is probably the strongest person in the world. She can lift a horse easily, sit calmly on a furious, jumping bull and lift policemen effortlessly.
Pippi has a dad but her mum passed away when she was just a baby. And her dad is king of an island somewhere in the ocean, so Pippi lives alone in her house.
One day her father asks her to go to his island with him, on Hoppetossa, their ship. Tommy and Anika cry so sadly that I nearly cried as well when I was reading it. But Pippi has a kind heart, so she can’t bear to see Tommy and Anika crying for her. So she stays, and the three friends are together again.
Pippi likes to say stuff that is totally weird and funky, that makes most people think she is lying, but Tommy and Anika never think she is lying, and they like to hear her stories. They are true friends of Pippi.
Pippi has great self-control and self-discipline. For example, once she bought 36 kilos of candy and didn’t even eat one herself but gave them away to children. I feel like Pippi gives me power and energy, she makes me laugh.
Pippi Longstocking is a marvelous book. I recommend that you read this book.
