Emil's pranks 3

You will surely be amused to learn how Emil got a horse on fair day in Vimmerby and how he unintentionally terrified Mrs. Petrell and the whole town. And maybe you would also like to know what happened the day after Christmas, when he organized a banquet for all the elderly people in the poorhouse. Emil is 5 years old, his antics are always fun and his occurrences have revolutionized the entire town. He is witty, cheerful, affectionate and although his intentions are always good, sometimes he ends up getting into trouble. He lives on a farm and is inspired by the stories and anecdotes that his father Samuel told him when he was a child. With color illustrations by Björn Berg, this book, the third in a 6-volume series, is perfect for early readers thanks to its large, simple typography. We all want a better world, to live in harmony and to become the best possibility of ourselves. But how to do it and where to start? Astrid Lindgren was convinced that you have to start from scratch. Since childhood. Girls and boys will be happier and smarter if they live like Emil, Astrid's character: playing. Like most children, Emil learns through play: sometimes his antics create problems and solving them intelligently and learning that things don't always go as planned is part of the adventure of growing up. This year we celebrate the 60th anniversary of its publication. Emil is one of Astrid Lindgren's most beloved books. Ideal for family reading.
