Cookbooks Pippi Longstocking Would Use

Pippi Longstocking is a classic, beloved children's book character. She is spunky and adventurous. She is always making delicious food to share with her friends or to take on a picnic. This led me to think about how a nine-year-old girl that lives alone could make such delectable food. Here are some cookbooks that Pippi would probably use.

Because she is adventurous:

Review: The House with Nobody in It

The House with Nobody in It By Jon Klassen Somerville, Massachusetts: Candlewick Press, 2026. Board Book. The House with Nobody in It may very well be your child's first ghost story. The simple story begins with the narrator explaining to readers that this house used to have someone in it, but there is now nobody there. Toddlers and preschoolers will love contradicting this statement as they peek through the house that the board book forms, as the ghost is clearly visible throughout the story. This unique and imaginative board book is the perfect thing to read during Halloween season! The book itself plays into the experience, with cutouts and clever turns that make it especially interactive. The illustrations are superb, simple but well crafted, adding to the story's theme as a whole. This will likely be a book that gets many repeat reads!
