Step aside, ringmaster. Pippi's in charge! Pippi Longstocking has her own special way of doing everything. When she goes to the circus, she doesn't just watch--she takes over! She stands on the back of a trotting horse, does spectacular tricks on the tightrope, and lifts the strongest man in the world over her head. You've never seen a circus like this before! Books about Pippi have been enjoyed by children all over the world for fifty years. "Pippi Longstocking...has inspired generations of children with her spunk and power." --Kirkus Reviews
