"Pippi lives at Villa Villekulla, her home in Sweden. She lives alone, without adult supervision, with only her monkey, Mr. Nilsson, and a horse who lives on the front porch. Her father had been a sea captain with whom Pippi had sailed, until he was blown overboard. While certain that he would one day return, Pippi, a very strong and independent child, has no problems living alone. Tommy and Annika are her neighbors who live next door. They are in awe of Pippi's experiences and sense of adventure. They love being with Pippi, and the reader, too, will enjoy reading of Pippi's unique antics and adventures. Eventually Pippi finds out that she has an opportunity to return to her father's ship and continue traveling with him. The children wonder how they will get along without Pippi as their friend. Will Pippi say goodbye to her friends and return to the ship to be with her father? This would be a fun read aloud book, or enjoyable book for independent reading for young, but high level readers. The fact that there are a number of books in the series adds to the appeal."
"Ini pertama kalinya baca Pippi, dan sukses dibuat kaget dengan "atraksi" nakal dan eksentrik Pippi. Awal baca sempet yang ber-"hah?hah?" ria, tapi lama-lama terbiasa juga. Walaupun gak sampe bikin ketawa, ceritanya cukup imajinatif. Setiap baca bagian Pippi bisa beli segala macem dengan sepeti uang emasnya, rasanya ngiri, enak banget ngambil duit kayak ngambil cemilan.
Oiya, kalo buku ini dibaca anak-anak, kayaknya harus dengan bimbingan orang tua :P"
"Saya tidak bisa ingat kapan pertama membaca kisah Pippi. Yang jelas saya ingat adalah saya belum pernah memiliki buku ini sendiri. Baru minggu lalu, di meja obral Gramedia (yang saat itu belum rusuh diserbu gerombolan GRI yang brutal).
Hal lain yang saya ingat, saat itu saya berpikir bahwa Pippi itu benar2 anak yang aneh. Aneh walau lucu. Sebagai "anak yang tidak aneh", kala itu saya tidak bisa menemukan padanan Pippi pada teman2 yang ada di lingkungan saya. Dan kalau ada, saya mungkin akan berjarak dari "anak aneh" itu. Saya takut tertular jadi aneh . Ikut2 tidak mau tidur malam sebelum jam 9. Main terus sepanjang siang. Pakai kaus kaki beda warna. Tidak mau sekolah karena takut ketularan pintar mitamitik.
Semalam, sekian belas tahun sejak kenal Pippi, Jarak itu makin lebar tentu. Saya sudah tidak seumur Pippi lagi. Namun jarak itu yang membebaskan kini. Semalam saya terpingkal-pingkal saat Pippi tekun mendengar penjelasan Bu Guru mengenai bagaimana perilaku yang tepat bagi seorang Wanita yang Sangat Terhormat.
Dan seorang Wanita yang Sangat Terhormat yang sekarang juga menjadi Bu Guru ini tentu boleh dong terpingkal-pingkal membaca bagian itu.
