Who can rescue babies from a burning building, outwit burglars, overpower a circus strongman, and still get home in time for Christmas? Pippi Longstocking can! Pippi Longstocking: The Strongest in the World! collects more than one hundred pages of comics from Pippi's creator, Astrid Lindgren, and her collaborator, the illustrator Ingrid Vang Nyman.

Praise for this book
"Relying on bold blocks of color and bright, simple designs, [Pippi Moves In is] mid-century art at its finest." --The Paris Review on the Pippi books
"Wonderfully offbeat Pippi Longstocking comics . . . Buy a copy for your kids, but secretly read it when they're asleep." --USA Today Pop Candy on the Pippi books
