However, to their surprise it is a child who moves in next door, along with her horse and her monkey, Mr Nilsson.

Tommy and Annika live next door to an empty house and their dearest wish is that they should have new neighbours, with children. There is quite a lot of text, so it is probably best for 4+ if you are planning to read it to your child. I have to admit that I loved Pippi Longstocking as a child and my daughter and niece have both enjoyed her stories, but this is a lovely, colourful version, with the original illustrations. This picture book version has been released to celebrate an almost unbelievable anniversary of 70 years since she appeared in print.

This is a delightful picture book, featuring that beloved childhood character, Pippi Longstocking.
