Pippi Longstocking

a novel by Astrid Lindgren

Nine-year-old Pippi Longstocking moves into Villa Villekulla with a monkey, a horse, and a suitcase of gold coins — and absolutely no grown-ups. The strongest girl in the world befriends tidy Tommy and Annika next door and turns their town upside down: school, the circus, midnight burglars, and one blazing rescue. These 8 Part workbooks cover the full novel (Tiina Nunnally translation, 11 chapters), each with vocabulary, comprehension, literary analysis, Think Deeper reasoning, an SAT/TOEFL-style test, and writing, all built on real-world CLIL background.
