Emil's pranks 5

He lives on a farm and is one of Astrid Lindgren's most beloved characters because he 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 fifth in a 6-volume series, is perfect for early readers thanks to its large, simple typography. This time, Emil put a frog in the lunch basket and... And then he got into such a terrible mess that it's almost hard to tell. Although there were also other days when Emil did some good things, so sometimes there are good reasons not to get too angry with him. 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 narrates the mischievous adventures of a cheerful and ingenious 5-year-old boy. Ideal for family reading.
