 The beloved story of a spunky young girl and her hilarious escapades.
 
Tommy and his sister Annika have a new neighbor, and her name is Pippi Longstocking. She has crazy red pigtails, no parents to tell her what to do, a horse that lives on her porch, and a pet monkey named Mr. Nilsson. Whether Pippi’s scrubbing her floors, doing arithmetic, or stirring things up at a fancy tea party, her flair for the outrageous always seems to lead to another adventure. 
"A rollicking story." —The Horn Book

      Everyone's favorite irrepressible and independent girl leaps from the speakers as Esther Benson spares no effort to channel the fun and spunk of Pippi. It's refreshing to hear such an unjaded story in today's cynical world. Listen as Pippi takes on the establishment, burglars, and conventional villagers who can't grasp her fearlessness. Strangely, she is never chastised for being who she is. We need more of the Pippi spirit as portrayed here--free, heroic, and uncompromising. A must for all children, and some adults. D.J.B.

      First-time listeners, as well as those who once treasured this story, will be thrilled by Sutton Foster's character portrayals. Central to this audiobook's success is Foster's portrayal of Pippi, the quirky 9-year-old who moves in next door to Tommy and Annika with a horse, a monkey, no parents, and wild stories. Foster's narration crackles with dynamic vibrancy when it comes to Pippi's dialogue. She depicts the wonder, confusion, and doubt of Pippi's friends and the consternation of adults whose authority Pippi challenges. But, as it should be, nothing and no one compares to the power and brash audacity of Pippi. Foster shows her to be the strongest girl in the world in deed, thought, and storytelling prowess.
