Year 3: Pippi Longstocking
by Astrid Lindgren
Pippi Longstocking is the story of Pippi, a strong and adventurous nine-year-old girl who lives alone in Villa Villekulla with her horse and pet monkey, Mr Nilsson. The book follows Pippi's exciting adventures as she surprises everyone with her unusual ideas, incredible strength, and kind heart, while forming a special friendship with her neighbours, Tommy and Annika.
