Book Review
This is a short, sweet Christmas tale involving Pippi Longstocking. She is spreading cheer to all the children of Villekulla – it makes my children wish they lived there. A gigantic tree, caroling, cake & hot cocoa, sledding, and plenty of presents! Who wouldn’t want to be a part of this? This was a good Christmas interlude for us while reading Pippi Goes on Board.
What We Disliked
Sledding from the rooftop sounds like fun. If it isn’t obvious to your children, make sure they know NOT to try this at home.
Audiobook
