Seems fitting to have read this book in Sweden. But this was actually a re-read for me. I read it the first time about 38 years ago but this time I read it aloud to my kids. They enjoyed it. Though Pippi can be an odd kid sometimes. It's easy to see why a kid would like Pippi. She lives on her own, does whatever she wants, has superhuman strength, and puts bullies in their place. She's also prone to telling fibs as easily as taking a breath. This first book is very episodic and I easily read it over seven bedtime story times. It was published back in 1945 and it shows its age only in a few spots.
