Pippi's back! Breaking rules, making up new ones, and instigating trouble – as usual.

Taking guff from no one, Pippi makes up what she doesn't know and dares to make life one breathless nonstop adventure (which usually includes thwarting swindlers, busybodies and extra-stuffy adults.) And while her sea-captain dad is off pirating, Pippi lives as she pleases, with a horse in the kitchen (because, of course, the bathroom's too small) and Mr. Nilsson, her monkey pal, who's all over the place.

And her friends, Tommy and Annika? Why they just LOVE living right next door. Wouldn't you?

"...a bright, broad and bubbly musical comedy."
–St. Paul Pioneer Press [Get review]

"...a big-hearted fantasia..."
–Minneapolis Star Tribune [Get review]
