"This is one of the first books I can remember reading. And before that I can remember my mother reading it to me. Now, I'm a parent myself and both our children have had the pleasure of saving this and other stories by the author. Sure, there are lots of reasons not to read this book. It's dated, the plot is a highly unlikely one, it represents some values we may consider old-fashioned. But despit all that it's brilliant.
A classic children's story which tells of how someone steals some money from Emil, and how the latter, with the help of a whole band of kids, succeeds in getting the money back, at the same time capturing... But you'll have to read that yourself."
"This book was translated from German and first published in 1929. I remember reading it as a child and recently reread it. It was still just as entertaining. In the new rerelease Maurice Sendak writes the intro to the book and I quote:Emil is a little masterpiece. It shows us the heroic nature of children, how they can stick together and accomplish wonders without the help of inept grownups. Read it and you'll be happy!"
"This is a story of a boy whose money is stolen oon a train ride to Berlin. He and a group of friends cleverly find a way to retrieve it and bring the criminal to justice. I enjoyed the book, the subtle humor and the pure personalities of the children. my only complaint is that the ending lasted forever."
