About this coloring page

Any fan of the books will instantly recognize Pippi Longstocking on horseback. Pippi lives in Villa Villekulla, a ramshackle old house at the edge of a little Swedish town, and she shares it with two unusual roommates: her spotted horse and a small monkey called Mr. Nilsson.

The horse doesn’t live in a stable. It lives right on the porch. Whenever Pippi wants to sit there herself, she simply lifts the horse with her bare hands and sets it down in the yard. That superhuman strength is her trademark, and over the course of the books she also hoists burglars, police officers and even a circus strongman.

Pippi lives without any grown-ups at all. Her mother died when she was little, and her father, Captain Efraim Longstocking, is a sea captain who, she insists, became king of an island in the South Seas. To get by, she keeps a suitcase full of gold coins.

Her best friends are Tommy and Annika, the neat, well-mannered kids next door, who get swept up in her wild ideas. With them around, Pippi can turn any ordinary day, even a snowy winter one, into a hilarious adventure.
