Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgreen


Pippi, the girl from Villekulla, had two friends named Annika and Tommy. They both go to school everyday but Pipi only liked to stay at home doing nothing. One day her friends invited her to go to school. She went alone riding her horse. Her first day was not very good. Pippi didn´t know arithmetic, reading and drawing. She didn´t behave properly and respected the teacher. Pippi didn´t like the school and couldn´t stay. She left and never went back! (Isabela Lima, 4A & Carolina Galvão Abbott, 3A)
