I saw it in a store and I just had to have it. Come home with me, little Pippi book. There's always room for more Pippi!
I love it when Pippi makes her pancakes! The illustrations are exactly the same as in the originals.
(this up above is my favorite picture - when Pippi goes to a grownup lady tea party and tries SO hard to be polite and fails miserably.)
The pages in this new edition are nicely and old parchment like ruffled at the edges. Otherwise, aside from the VERY COOL cover, there's nothing new to see, it's the same amazing story. I don't know if the 'Peter Pan' book is shortened from the original or not, but this is the whole Pippi story here. Robbers, pirates, pancake making, feats of Pippi derring-do, and all.
Oh there's also a version of 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Black Beauty'. AND 'A Christmas Carol'!
Go forth and Pippi!
(ugh - photos were taken with my phone and the quality of this batch was pretty lacking, but sometimes, you just gotta roll with these things....;)
Pippi is a character so over the top and fun! She should have a modern TV series just for her all over again (although the older series was awesome)! I have admired those Puffin books but I still didn't buy one because ... eeep... I would need more space on my already crowded bookshelf!
ReplyDeleteYou are the smartest! Yes, a new television show would be AWESOME. The old movies are hilariously bad and fun, but sooooo dated. The special effects are crazy bad, ha ha ha. A new series or movie would be so fantastic! Sigh, I share your pain about the crowded bookshelves.....#bookproblems
DeleteI've been admiring these! I love all the special Penguin and Puffin sets. It would be cool to have a full set of each for every room of the house. That would probably be overkill, right?
ReplyDeletePippi rules. We bought a cheap paperback of one of the later books at an art and book fair this weekend, in fact!
i was too lazy for more links, but omigolly how i long for the hardcover Puffin editions!! They are SO gorgeous! So so so so pretty!
DeleteWow! That cover is gorgeous. My seven-year-old just found Pippi, but not the first one, so I'm thinking I'll look for this one for her birthday. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteoh yay!!! perfect age for Pippi!!!!
DeleteOh - I do have this one and love it.
ReplyDeleteCOOL Claire Annette!!! it's so fun.
DeleteWANT! Great pics by the way!
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet friend! We're always our own harshest critics aren't we???
DeleteHow cute. We listened to Pippi as an audio book and loved it.
ReplyDeletethat would be super fun to listen to - i should see if my library has an audio version.....
