(4) 1-3 Translated by Tiina Nunnally. Illustrated by Ingrid Vang Nyman. Like Pippi Moves In, this second collection of comics (originally published in a Swedish children's magazine in the 1950s) is translated and available in the U.S. for the first time. The simple four-page stories are told via word balloons and bold, cheerful illustrations. The slight tales may serve as introductions to the longer novels or appeal to readers already familiar with Pippi's exploits.
