Escapades of a lucky little girl who lives with a horse and a monkey--but without any parents--at the edge of a Swedish village. Astrid Lindgren's story of feisty, red-haired Pippi has been given a sparkling new translation by award-winning Tiina Nunnally and engaging pictures by acclaimed Lauren Child.

When her friends Tommy and Annika have a day off from school, Pippi takes them on a far from ordinary picnic.

The heroic Pippi Longstocking takes charge and rescues two little boys from a burning building when no one else can figure out how to save them.
