“First-time listeners, as well as those who once treasured this story, will be thrilled by Sutton Foster’s character portrayals. Central to this audiobook’s success is Foster’s portrayal of Pippi. . . Foster’s narration crackles with dynamic vibrancy when it comes to Pippi’s dialogue. She depicts the wonder, confusion, and doubt of Pippi’s friends and the consternation of adults whose authority Pippi challenges. But, as it should be, nothing and no one compares to the power and brash audacity of Pippi. Foster shows her to be the strongest girl in the world in deed, thought, and storytelling prowess.”—AudioFile
