Everyone will love this."'The Bookseller'"Lauren Child's distinctive style is perfect for Pippi Longstocking, the nine-year-old girl with enormous strength and very large shoes."'Sunday Express'"I love how unconsciously rebellious she (Pippi) is. She doesn't care about rules, she cares about people.
