Reviews
- Lauren Child's . . . version of Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking is sublime. - Amanda Craig, The Times
- [Lauren Child's] an inspired choice to hook a new generation of children on Sweden's greatest literary export. - Susanna Forest, Telegraph Review
- Some word and picture partnerships are akin to a marriage made in heaven. First there was EH Shepard and AA Milne, then Quentin Blake and Roald Dahl - now Lauren Child and Astrid Lindgren. If ever there was an illustrator born to understand the psyche and well-loved quirkiness of Pippi Longstocking and infuse it with a 21st-century edge, then Child is that artist. - Junior
- There's no stopping Lauren Child as she brings her own inimitable style to illustrate Pippi Longstocking . . . Everyone will love this. - The Bookseller
- Lauren Child . . . is the perfect choice to illustrate this handsome edition of Pippi . . . her unmistakable illustrative style helps to bring a modern feel to the book and will enable another generation of readers to enjoy the exploits of this extraordinary little girl. - Books for Keeps
- Pippi is my favourite girl hero - Cressida Cowell, Express
- I love how unconsciously rebellious she is. She doesn't care about rules, she cares about people. - Alicia Vikander
