Pippi Goes on Board
Outrageous Pippi Longstocking has no parents around and no rules to follow, so she lives according to her own daredevilish ways. She's been treating her friends Tommy and Annika to wild adventures, too--like buying and eating seventy-two pounds of candy, or sailing off to an island in the middle of a lake to see what it's like to be shipwrecked. But then Pippi's long lost father returns, and she might have to leave Villa Villekulla!
From the Hans Christian Andersen Medal-winning author of the classic P ippi Longstocking , this is another rollicking adventure that's sure to please fans of the freckled, fun-loving little girl.

Auch das zweite Pippi Langstrumpf - Buch macht wieder Spaß und sorgt für gute Laune. Weiter geht es mit den Abenteuern rund um Pippi und ihre Freunde Tommy und Annika. Dabei sind besonders Pippi und Annika eigentlich gegensätzlich wie Tag und Nacht. Pippi mit ihrer fröhlichen und quirligen Art und Annika, die eher schüchtern und brav ist. Trotzdem sind sie gute Freunde geworden. So etwas gefällt mir immer gut :)
Mit Pippi ist es immer aufregend und lustig und abenteuerlich. Daher sind Tommy und Annika auch furchtbar traurig, als Pippi mit ihrem Vater wieder zur See fahren will...
Ein kurzweiliges und fröhliches Vergnügen und ein Buch, das man einfach immer wieder lesen kann.

چند روز پیش به یه قسمتی از ساختمان پزشکان برخوردم که خانم شیرزاد از تصویر سه بعدی‌ای که تو جلد مجله می‌دید حرف می‌زد و کتی می‌گفت که این تصویر رو قرار هست هفته‌ی بعد چاپ کنن. چطور می‌بینی آخه! و الان موقع نوشتن از پی‌پی به این پی بردم چقدر این دو بزرگوار از خیلی جهات به هم شباهت دارن.
میزان پردازشی که ذهن خلاق و در عین حال ژولیده‌شون انجام میده ستودنی هست. هر دو سواد آنچنانی ندارن. خانم شیرزادی که مدام کلمات رو اشتباه میگه و پی‌پی‌ای که از عهده‌ی نوشتن نامه هم برنمیاد. هر دوشون بخاطر ندونم کاری، موجبات شادی ملت رو فراهم میکنن. هر دوشون ساختارشکن هستن، به رعایت قوانین پایبند نیستن و اگر تو زندگی واقعی باهاشون برخوردی داشته باشیم، احتمالا مثل دکتر افشار می‌خوایم سر به بیابون بذاریم. منتهی پی‌پی سوپر پاور داره و خانم شیرزاد نداره.
چنین شخصیتی نمی‌تونه الگوی خوبی برای بچه باشه. اما به عنوان سرگرمی و نشوندن لبخند روی لب عالی عمل می‌کنه.
جلد دوم این مجموعه هم شامل ماجراهای پی‌پی بود که با اتفاقات جدیدی رقم خورد. انتظار داشتم که نویسنده کمی این شخصیت رو کنترل کنه و تا حدودی این کار رو کرد. اما از یه جایی مزه‌پرونی‌های پی‌پی برام جالب نبود. و این احتمالا بخاطر دوره‌ای هست که درش به سر می‌برم چون حرکات پیش‌بینی‌ناپذیر بهتری رو از این موجودات کوچیک می‌بینم.
در کل برای رده‌ی سنی کودک مناسب‌تر هست و فکر می‌کنم اگر در اون بازه‌ی زمانی می‌خوندم لذت بیشتری ازش می‌بردم.
تصویر جلد کتاب مثل نسخه‌ی اصلاح شده از پی‌پی می‌مونه. چون شخصیتی که نویسنده خلق کرده با این شمایل ظاهر نمیشه.
از تارا هم متشکرم که زحمت اضافه کردن این جلدش رو کشید🤍

Pippi Longstocking was my hero when I was a little girl. Come on: the strongest girl in the world? who's richer than God? and lives by herself? with a horse? and a monkey?
I LOVED HER.
This is the book where Pippi goes on a picnic, gets shipwrecked, and is reunited with her father. I always get a lump in my throat at the end, whether I'm nine or twenty-nine ... or older.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that Pippi is a real feminist icon. She takes care of herself, she doesn't rely on any man (well, at nine years old, she's a little young to be a trophy wife anyway), she's generous but not a doormat, and she does pretty much whatever she wants.
On the other hand, she's not really a model of educational excellence, as is proven when she writes herself a letter. However, I too have found that "pluttification" is not a necessity in my real life.
She is just, but not cruel. In this book, Pippi rescues a horse from its master's whip, but she doesn't whip the master (like I would have). And she makes a horrible man pay for ruined hot dogs after doling out her special brand of justice.
So I guess the truth is right here: I STILL LOVE PIPPI LONGSTOCKING.

I happened to be reading this with my daughter at the same time I was rereading the Culture novel Consider Phlebas and I couldn't keep the two separate. Pippi just seems like the perfect member of the Culture, decent, headstrong, hedonistic, in love with her post-scarcity living, and a bit too flaky for her own good. All that led to this:
9. Pippi Goes Aboard*
Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Efraim's Daughter Longstocking closed the door to her cabin aboard General Contact Unit Villa Villekulla and hung her red ribbon from her custom door stud for the last time; then she lifted the horse drone down from its pedestal. It was completely capable of using its anti-gravity forcefield, but it preferred to have Pippi set him down –- so for the last time she lifted him down off his pedestal. The primate shaped drone, Mr. Nilsson, already hovered over her shoulder, projecting simultaneous auras of importance and annoyance. He understood that something special was going to happen.
“Well, I guess that’s all,” said Pippi.
“Tommy and Annika nodded. “Yes, I guess it is.”
“It’s still early,” said Pippi. “Let’s walk; that will take longer.”
Tommy and Annika nodded again, but they didn’t say anything. Then they started walking toward the town, toward the harbour, toward the Cliff Class Superlifter Hoptoad. The horse, forced to use his anti-gravity now, floated along slowly behind them.
Pippi glanced over her shoulder at her cabin door. “Nice little place,” she said. “No bugs, clean and comfortable, and that’s probably more than you can say about the hovels where I’ll be living in the future.”
Tommy and Annika said nothing.
“If there are an awful lot of bugs in my Drezen hovel,” continued Pippi, “I’ll train them and keep them in a box and play Run, Medjel, Run with them at night. I’ll tie little bows around their antennae, and the two most faithful and affectionate I will call Tommy and Annika, and they shall sleep with me at night.”
Not even this could make Tommy and Annika more talkative.
“What on earth is wrong with you? asked Pippi irritably. I tell you it is dangerous to keep quiet too long. Tongues dry up if you don’t use them. On Vavatch I once knew an Eater who never said a word. And once when he wanted to say to me, ‘You look yummy, dear Pippi, come let me eat you,’ he opened his mouth and can you guess what he said? First he made some horrible faces, for his teeth had fallen out and he needed metal ones, and then a sound came out: ‘U buy uye muy.’ I looked in his mouth, and, imagine! there lay his tongue like a little wilted leaf, and as long as he lived, which wasn’t long I admit, that Eater could never say anything but ‘U buy uye muy.’ It would be awful if the same thing should happen to you. Let me see if you can say this better than the Eater did: ‘You look yummy, dear Pippi, come let me eat you,’ or at least, ‘have a nice mission, Pippi.’ Go on, try it.”
“Have a nice mission, dear Pippi, and thanks for your visit,” said Tommy and Annika obediently.
There was the Smallbay; there lay the Hoptoad. Captain Efraim stood near the ramp, shouting his commands, the drones hovered back and forth to make everything ready for departure. All the people on the GCU had crowded into the Smallbay to wave good-by to Pippi, and here she came with Tommy and Annika and the horse and Mr. Nilsson.
Pippi nodded and smiled to the left and the right. Then she took up the horse, who obediently shut down his force fields and carried him up the ramp. The poor old drone cast a suspicious aura, for old drones don’t care very much for Contact missions.
“Well, here you are, my beloved operative!” called Captain Efraim. He folded her in his arms, and they hugged each other with all the power that their hyperactive adrenals could muster. They nearly cracked each other’s ribs -- captain and operative -- and it took a moment to catch their breath. That was when Pippi noticed Annika’s tears and Tommy’s frustration.
Pippi came running down the ramp and rushed over to them. She took their hands in hers. “Ten minutes left,” she said.
Then Annika threw herself against the force field of Mr. Nilsson and cried as if her heart would break. Tommy clenched his teeth and looked murderous. He would not cry for anything.
All the people of GCU Villa Villekulla gathered around Pippi. They took out their bird whistles, manufactured by the GCU for the occasion, and blew the farewell tune the GCU had composed for her. It sounded sad beyond words, for it was a very, very mournful tune. Annika was crying so hard she could hardly catch her breath, and Tommy was so tense he had to think to engage his endorphins just so he could calm down.
The people crowded in from all directions to say good-by to Pippi. She raised her hand and asked them to be quiet.
“Hereafter,” she said, “I’ll only have little Drezeni savages to play with. I don’t know how we will amuse ourselves; perhaps I’ll actually have do some work. Perhaps I will teach them some pluttification. I suppose we’ll manage to pass the time some way.” Pippi paused. Both Tommy and Annika felt that they hated those Drezeni Pippi would know in the future.
“But,” continued Pippi, “Perhaps a day will come when their planet is a part of the Culture, a long dreary century from now, when I will have taught them all to pluttify, and then I could come back here, to the GCU Villa Villekulla and everything can be just like it is now all over again.”
The people blew a still sadder tune on their bird whistles.
“Pippi, it’s time to come aboard,” called Captain Efraim.
“Aye, aye, captain,” called Pippi. She turned to Tommy and Annika. She looked at them.
“Close the ramp, Fridolf” cried Captain Efraim to his knife-missile. Fridolf did. The Hoptoad was ready for her mission of Contact.
Then -- “No, Captain Efraim,” cried Pippi, watching the crowd in the Smallbay -- watching Tommy and Annika -- through the viewscreen, “I can’t do it, I just can’t bear to do it!”
“What is it you can’t bear to do?” asked Captain Efraim.
“I can’t bear to see anyone in the Culture crying and being sorry on account of me -- least of all Tommy and Annika. Put down the ramp again. I’m staying on Villa Villekulla.
Captain Efraim stood silent for a minute. “Do as you like,” he said at last. “You always have done that. And so you should too.”
Pippi nodded. “Yes, I’ve always done that,” she said quietly. “You know, Papa, Efraim? I think it’s best to live on a decent GCU and not disrupt my comfort on some stinky, backwater planet -- don’t you think so too?”
“You’re right, as always, Pippi,” answered Captain Efraim. “It is certain that you live a more ordered life on GCU Villa Villekulla, and that is probably best for you. Fridolf anticipated your decision, and your replacement is already onboard.”
“Just so then,” said Pippi. “It’s surely best for me to live and orderly life, especially since I can’t order it myself.
Pippi said goodbye to the drones on the Hoptoad and hugged Captain Efraim once more. Then she lifted her still grounded horse and carried him down the ramp. Mr. Nilsson floated along beside her with a content aura. The Hoptoad was cut off by a force field generated by the GCU and vented out of the Smallbay, leaving Pippi with the people of Villa Villekulla where she would always be happy.

توی جلدِ اول فکر میکردم پدرِ پی پی قراره نباشه و فقط مربوط یه خیالپردازی اونه، ولی خب توی جلد دوم معلوم شد اینجوری نیست.

Yes indeed, I originally read the first of Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking novels in German (and as Pippi Langstrumpf). And although I do recall mildly enjoying reading about Pippi Longstocking in 1975 and in fact majorly count Astrid Lindgren as one of my all-time favourite children's authors, period, Pippi Longstocking herself has actually never been one of my most beloved Lindgren characters by any stretch of the imagination (since I have always liked Madicken, Emil, the children of Noisy Village, Lotta and Ronja considerably more than I have ever managed with Pippi Longstocking), and that I only managed the first novel and actually have never felt any reading interest after Pippi Longstocking to consider the sequels, to read Pippi Goes on Board and Pippi in the South Seas. For no, I simply did not enjoy Pippi Lomgstocking as a character and her exploits and behaviour enough for me to want to desire to continue with the series (and also had many other Astrid Lindgren stories to read and on the go that looked oh so much more textually appealing for me as a nine year old).
And now, after finically reading the second Pippi Longstocking novel in 2023 (to leave a review and in English, since I do not at present own Pippi Goes on Board in German, and translated by Florence Lamborn from Astrid Lindgren's original Swedish title of Pippi Långstrump går ombord), I do most certainly very much understand why as a child (in 1975) I did not really feel like continuing on with the Pippi Longstocking stories. For yes, that which makes Pippi Longstocking not into one of my favourite Astrid Lindgren characters is even more pronounced and annoying in Pippi Goes on Board, as honestly and truly, I am finding Pippi's super-human physical strength and unlimited monetary wealth annoying, tedious and that in every single chapter, that in every single episode of Pippi Goes on Board, Pippi Longstocking is shown to somehow save the proverbial day so to speak majorly monotonous and textually dragging (as I have never enjoyed stories where the main protagonist always comes out as number one and never seems to fail in any manner, and Pippi Longstocking is definitely that kind of a character).
And the above scenario has most certainly really not been an all that enjoyable reading experience for and to me, since even more than in the first novel of Pippi Longstocking, Pippi Goes on Board truly shows a Lindgren text that is just too much annoyingly a case of same old, same old (with nothing really novel and and nothing really all that interesting being featured and depicted by Astrid Lindgren and with Pippi Logstocking always succeeding and never even remotely failing). Therefore and really, the main, the primary reason why I actually have ended up still rating Pippi Goes on Board with three and not two stars is that Pippi Longstocking deciding in Pippi Goes on Board to actually (and unlike the book title suggests) not to go on board and leave with her father but to instead stay at her villa because she realises how sad Tommy and Annika are because of her imminent departure, yes, this provides a sweet and also nicely surprising and smiles producing ending for Pippi Goes on Board.
But no, liking the ending, enjoying the final chapter of Pippi Goes on Board is not really sufficient for me to have found (and to consider) Astrid Lindgren's featured text (and story) engaging enough for a rating higher than three stars (and indeed, I also rather think that said three star rating for Pippi Goes on Board is in fact pretty generous on my part). Because aside from my textual boredom regarding Astrid Lindgren's presented episodes and that Pippi Longstocking is just too physically strong, too wealthy and too much of character who never fails, is someone who always wins and is successful (and can thus not ever be a true kindred spirit for me), my adult reading self also majorly finds the scenarios of Pippi Longstocking's father returning and Astrid Lindgren's descriptions of cannibals etc. uncomfortably politically incorrect and stereotypical (even though I do realise that with a publication date of 1946, Pippi Goes on Board is of course also a product of its time).

Tämä oli ihana. Edellisosaansa hauskempi, satuhetket meni ihan kikatteluksi kun tälle nauroin niin minä kuin lapsetkin. Lempeän tärkeä kuitenkin, ehdoton helmi lastenkirjallisuudessa. Jos sitä nyt joku ei muka jo valmiiksi tiennyt.

Pippi Uzunçorabın 1. kitabını okumuştum zaten ve çok beğenmiştim. Aradan biraz zaman geçse de hemen 2. kitabını okumak için sabırsızlanıyordum. Kitap 1. kitap kadar komikti okurken çok güldüm.
Kitap aslında 1. kitabın devamıydı. Bir gün Pippi Uzunçorap, arkadaşları Tommy ve Annikayla balkonda otururken, Pippi babasını görür ve çok şaşırır. Yıllar sonra bir araya gelseler bile tek yaptıkları birbirleriyle dövüşmek olur. Zaten Pippi dünyanın en güçlü kızı olduğu için mantıken babası da dünyanın en güçlü babası oluyor. Yani birbirlerini yere sermeleri çok zor. Çünkü eşit güçlülükteler.
Babası, Emraim Uzunçorap (Emraim Baba) Pippi'ye Büyük Okyanusun Kralı olduğunu ve Pippi almaya geldiğini söyler. Pippi çok mutludur çünkü o da Büyük Okyanusun Prensesi olacak ve sonsuza kadar babasıyla olacaktı. Pippi Villa Villekulladan ayrıldığı için bir veda partisi düzenler. Tommy ve Annika günlerce ağlarlar. Pippi'nin gitmesinin istemiyorlardır.
Bakalım Pippi Uzunçorap beni heyecanlandırdığı gibi sizi de heyecanlandıracak mı?
Herkese tavsiye ederim.

Yıllar sonra bir araya gelseler bile tek yaptıkları birbirleriyle dövüşmek olur. Zaten Pippi dünyanın en güçlü kızı olduğu için mantıken babası da dünyanın en güçlü babası oluyor. Yani birbirlerini yere sermeleri çok zor. Çünkü eşit güçlülükteler.
Babası, Emraim Uzunçorap (Emraim Baba) Pippi'ye Büyük Okyanusun Kralı olduğunu ve Pippi almaya geldiğini söyler. Pippi çok mutludur çünkü o da Büyük Okyanusun Prensesi olacak ve sonsuza kadar babasıyla olacaktı. Pippi Villa Villekulladan ayrıldığı için bir veda partisi düzenler. Tommy ve Annika günlerce ağlarlar. Pippi'nin gitmesinin istemiyorlardır.
Bakalım Pippi Uzunçorap beni heyecanlandırdığı gibi sizi de heyecanlandıracak mı?
Herkese tavsiye ederim.

در این کتاب هم ادامه‌ی داستان پی پی را می‌خوانیم. این بار پدر پی‌پی هم وارد قصه می‌شود و به نظرم داستان را کمی جالب‌تر می‌کند. همچنان پی‌پی با منطق و قواعد خودش زندگی می‌کند و هر وقت هرکاری را درست تشخیص دهد همان را انجام می‌دهد.

Jelas sekali meski buku ini bergenre anak-anak, tapi membacanya mesti dengan bimbingan orang tua. Tingkah dan cara bicara Pippi yang aneh (dan bagi pembaca terasa lucu) akan menjadi tidak lucu bila ditiru anak-anak.
Namanya, Pippilotta Viktualia Gorden Tirai Permen Efraimputri Langstrump, putri dari kapten Efraim Langstrump yang dikenal setan laut, dan kini menjadi raja orang hitam. Pippi tinggal sendirian di pondok Serbaneka. Dia tidak mempunyai ibu, dan Ayahnya terdampar di negeri Taka tuka. Tetapi Pippi tidak benar-benar sendirian. Dia ditemani Tuan Nillson, seekor kuda yang selalu digendongnya dan benda-benda aneh yang diletakkan tidak pada tempatnya. Thomas dan Annika, dua anak-anak yang senang bermain dengannya.
Pippilotta meski aneh karena mengenakan sepasang kaos kaki yang berbeda, berambut merah yang dikepang mencuat ke atas, tidak bisa mitamitik dan wajahnya dipenuhi bintik-bintik warna coklat, tapi sesungguhnya dia teman yang menyenangkan. Dia membeli satu lengan, 18 kg permen, ditambah 18 kg lagi, memborong seluruh isi toko mainan dan membagi-baginya kepada seluruh anak-anak kecil yang tidak mampu membeli semua itu. Pippi juga membantu ibu guru membuat acara berpesiar menjadi lebih menyenangkan dengan bermain hutan ajaib. Pippi yang selama hidupnya mengunjungi berbagai tempat di seluruh dunia, kerap berbagi cerita yang menarik kepada teman-temannya.
Buku ini berbeda dengan buku Astrid Lindgren yang lain, semisal Madicken, atau Emil. Bila kedua anak itu hanyalah anak biasa yang selalu merepotkan orang dewasa, Pippi adalah anak ajaib yang biasa mengatur dirinya sendiri, dan dia sering berbagi kegembiraan dengan anak-anak yang lain dengan cara yang aneh. Sepertinya sejak saat ini, saya mesti mengaku kalau menggemari buku-buku penulis asal swedia ini.

Kyllä vain Peppi Pitkätossu on ihastuttava, tässäkin.
Vaikka Peppi on ollut itsellenikin tuttu jo lapsuudesta, niin en ole jotenkin oikein osannut samaistua häneen tai saada ihan kiinni näistä tarinoista. Peppi on välillä tuntunut jopa hippasen ärsyttävältä. Mutta näin "aikuisen" silmin viehätyinkin tästä tosi kovasti.
Aion lukea Peppi Pitkätossu Etelänmerelläkin heti kun uusi suomennos julkaistaan.
Olen muuten pitänyt näistä suomennoksista kovasti, mutta toisaalta enpä voi väittää muistavani kovinkaan hyvin millaisia aiemmat suomennokset ovat (ellei joitain sanavalintoja huomioida). Erityistä tunnesidettäkään minulla ei Peppiin ole, joten uudet suomennokset uppoavat siinä, missä varmaan uppoaisivat vanhatkin.

Well, well! Captain Longstocking, the cannibal king is back! What a pleasant surprise!!
However, this book is not nearly as good as the very first book of Pippi Longstocking series. I’m a little bit disappointed actually.

I wanted to revisit the character Pippi as it is mentioned in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (in an interview with author Stieg Larsson)that she was created as an adult version of Pippi Longstocking (by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren written in 1950s). As a kid liked Pippi stories so thought I'd read to my granddaughter (age 6); she didn't seem interested so I read it. I can see why kids would like Pippi since she doesn't have to live with parents and has a chest full of gold coins and can buy 72# of candy for all the kids in town and goes to bed when she wants. Seemed a bit outdated to me though. Think I'll tell Gillian the story and see what she thinks. Interesting contemplating parallels with Lisbeth in Dragon Tattoo trilogy.

Хорошая книга!
Но некоторые выходки Пеппи мне не понравились. И, вообще, Astrid Lindgren достаточно неоднозначная писательница и ей всё-таки лучше удаются лирические моменты, чем юмористические. Например, сцена отъезда Пеппи очень трогательная, до слёз!!! И сцена из первой книги, когда Пеппи спасает детей из горящего дома, тоже превосходна! А вот смешные моменты совсем не смешные и даже не милые! Да и приключений - кот наплакал.

I absolutely love her! I always did, and always will. However, it's sad to see so much racism in this. It is not hateful racism, but racism nonetheless. It's odd because Pippi herself gleefully loves everyone, and doesn't sound like a racist at all. I guess, there will be more racist jokes in the next book, Pippi in the South Seas where she will be sailing in the south seas and to the cannibal island.

เป็นวรรณกรรมเยาวชนมี่น่ารักใสๆ ดี แต่ก็มีบางเรื่องน่าเจ็บปวด
ในหลายๆส่วน เราเผลอ เจ็บปวดใจ ถ้าปิ๊ปปี��มีพ่อแม่คอยดูแล ชีวิตอาจจะไปอยู่ในลู่ทางที่ดีกว่านี้ ถ้าไม่เรียนหนังสือจะอ่านไม่ออก บวกลบคูณหารไม่ได้แล้วนะ! เสียดายอนาคตเด็ก

This one was a bit more fun, since the stories formed more of an over-arching narrative this time, unlike the first book where they were little vignettes.

Hú, de rosszul öregedett helyenként . Némelyik fejezetet több részletben olvastuk, kicsit hosszabbak is voltak köztük. Jópofa volt, de az elsőn azért többet nevettek a kölkök. Engem egyre jobban zavar a gyerekek barátságának egyenlőtlensége, nagyon önzőnek érzem a szomszéd gyerekeket. Néha azért adhatnának ők is valamit Pippinek, nem csak meghívatnák magukat mindenfélére.

It's a classic and, reading it, I totally understand why. I LOVED it!

A fun book, probably a slight improvement on the first. The kids love it.

Înduioșător final. M-a facut să realizez cât de dragă mi-a devenit si mie Pippi, cu memorabilul ei umorul, generozitatea neafectată, cu excentricitățile ei caracteristice, sălbăticiile inocente și cu o inimă capabilă de inestimabilă prietenie.

Read in this Pippi compilation.

The problem with giving up one's home computer for Lent (and, by extension, writing Goodreads reviews) is that one has forgotten the most salient points of a book he read close to Ash Wednesday if said book wasn't all that interesting. I'm afraid that's the case here.
I do remember thinking that I could almost copy/paste my issues from the first Pippi Longstocking book, for they were the same:
-My two star rating is personal, and I still think this is a good book for kids, however I'm the wrong audience for it.
-It's more a series of short adventures and not a novel.
-It's too silly.
I won't expound upon those since I did it in my review of the first book. But I would like to point out that I didn't find Pippi as obnoxious in this story as she was in the preceding one.
There's also no real conflict in this, and I normally need that in order to enjoy a story (The Secret Garden being an exception). Sure, Pippi is getting ready to go away at the end, and Tommy and Annika are all sad and stuff, and I reckon that counts as a kind of conflict, but I need something with a little more oomph.
But, again, I think kids in the target audience would enjoy this if they enjoyed the first one, so don't let my lackluster response deter you from giving it a go.

Obwohl ich den zweiten Teil der Pippi-Reihe zunächst schwächer als den ersten empfand, gefielen mir die Kapitel über Pippi, Annika und Tommy auf dem Jahrmarkt und wie die Drei Schiffbruch erleiden derart, dass ich erneut vier Sterne vergebe.
Pippi nervte immerhin weniger, sondern glänzte vielmehr mit ihren herausstechenden Eigenschaften: Großzügigkeit und Freundschaft. Darüber hinaus fand ich die Szene im Theater herrlich zum Lachen. Ich genoss die Momente, wenn Pippi selbst die ärgsten Bösewichte in die Knie zwingt oder eben dieses wunderbare Insel-Abenteuer für ihre beiden Freunde initiiert. Da werden Kinderträume wahr.
Mein Lieblingssatz: "Manchmal redest du so klug, dass ich fürchte, es wird etwas Großes aus dir."
