Praise for illustrator, Lauren Child: Known and loved the world over as the creator of some equally feisty girls - notably Clarice Bean, Ruby Redfort and Lola from Charlie and Lola, Lauren Child has brought her trade-mark illustration style and flair to this beautiful new edition of Pippi Longstocking. * Primary Times *
Pippi Longstocking may have debuted in 1945, but she feels like a very modern heroine: independent and spirited, underpinned by kindness and warmth. * The Bookseller *
Lauren Child's bold, quirky, stylish illustrations capture the fun and cheekiness of Pippi's laugh-out-loud exploits. * The Times, Best Children's Books of 2020 *
Young Pippi is a complete delight and Lauren Child's zany illustrations bring out the madcap qualities which make young Pippi a girl any child would want as a best friend. Bear it in mind when writing your Christmas present list - this is a special book which rates 10 out of 10 for enjoyment. * Newbury Weekly News *
