Pippa: The Cheetah and Her Cubs
by Joy AdamsonPippa had spent almost all of her young life with humans before Joy Adamson adopted her, but Mrs. Adamson decided the cheetah would be happier living wild in the bush, - even though the change would not be easy. When Pippa had been with her for some weeks, Mrs. Adamson took her to the Meru Game Reserve and set up camp to prepare her for the life of a wild animal. Gradually, over many months, Pippa became more independent, learning to kill so that she could supply her food and be off on her own for several days at a time. Later, Pippa's first litter was born, and she led her human friend into the bush to visit the hidden nursery. This is an engrossing account of Pippa's successful rehabilitation to a wild state, though she and the cubs were always friendly with the author. Mrs. Adamson's photographic talents are superbly exhibited in the many pictures of these magnificent and graceful animals, looking alternately like playful pets or like the elegant and elusive animals they are in their natural African setting. Children who were delighted by Mrs. Adamson's earlier book, Elsa and Her Cubs, will find equal enjoyment in Pippa : The Cheetah and Her Cubs.

Pippi in the South Seas
by Astrid Lindgren"My name is Pippi Longstocking," she said. "And this is Tommy and Annika." She pointed to her friends. "Is there anything we can do for you-tear down a house or chop down a tree? Or is there anything else that needs to be changed? Just say the word!" In this characteristic manner Pippi introduced herself to a rather unpleasant gentleman who was trying (unsuccessfully ) to buy Villa Villekulla, where Pippi, that red-headed and fabulously strong girl, lived alone with her horse and monkey. Her father was away in the South Seas, busy being king of Kurrekurredutt Island. When the king sent for Pippi, she decided to take Tommy and Annika along with her, because they had had the measles, and she thought the change would do them good. They found the island a fantastic place-and what with Pippi's usual feats of derring one rollicking adventure followed another. Those who already know the fantastic, outrageously funny, but oddly logical Pippi will join with new readers in the general enthusiasm she always arouses. "We're always going to have fun," said Annika. "In Villa Villekulla, on Kurrekurredutt Island, anywhere." And you will too.
