Pippi Longstocking in the Park

24 pp. | Farrar/R&S | April, 2001 | Trade ISBN 91-29-65307-X $$9.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ingrid Nyman. Pippi hears reports about "bad guys" in the city park and uses her incredible strength and naiveté to address the problem. This picture book first appeared in Sweden in 1949 and is more successful than the recent picture book adaptations from the Pippi novels. Nyman's simple, colorful illustrations work effectively with the eccentric but fresh and innocent story.
