While Pippi leaves you wondering if her claim that she has super human strength and that she can bake a 100 dozen cookies in an hour are true, Gooney Bird assures that all her stories are 100% real. While Pippi made me a little sad, I did not have this lump in my throat and a heavy heart when I read Gooney Bird.
At first it reminded me of Pippi Longstokings, but Lois Lowry does manage to differentiate this very Pippi-like character, well at least in my mind. Gooney Bird tells tall tales, has an ‘interesting’ fashion sense and has an exceptionally high level of confidence. I thumbed through the book and quickly digested that the book was about a quirky little girl in second grade. Thanks to Sandhya, Lois Lowry was a familiar name.
