Do you want me to tell you more pranks Emil pulled? Perhaps you want to hear about the exciting adventures he had that fair day on the Hultsfred plains when he went to visit Alfred and have a great time.
Or maybe you don't want to miss what happened the day Emil spilled the blood sausage stuffing all over his father....
Emil is 5 years old, his pranks are always fun, and his antics have the whole town in an uproar. He is ingenious, cheerful, affectionate, and although his intentions are always good, he sometimes ends up in a lot of trouble.
He lives on a farm and is one of Astrid Lindgren's most beloved characters because he is inspired by the stories and anecdotes her father Samuel told her about when he was a child.
With full-color illustrations by Björn Berg, this book, the second in a series of 6 volumes, is perfect for early readers thanks to its large, simple typography, and for family reading.
We all want a better world, to live in harmony, and to become the best version of ourselves. But how do we do it and where do we start? Astrid Lindgren was convinced that we must start from scratch. From childhood. Children will be happier and smarter if they live like Emil, Astrid's character: playing. Like most children, Emil learns through play: sometimes his mischief creates problems, and solving them intelligently and learning that things don't always go as planned is part of the adventure of growing up.
