Pippi Goes to School: Picture Book

by Astrid Lindgren

Overview

Pippi Longstocking has her own special way of doing everything, even going to school. She's not about to walk, she'd rather ride her horse. And Pippi can't be bothered with spelling and math; she's more interested in drawing on the floor and finding out when Christmas vacation starts. Pippi may be ready for school, but is school ready for Pippi?

Pippi Goes to School is a great introduction for young children to the wacky, wonderful world of Pippi Longstocking.
