Has anyone read any of Astrid Lindgren's "Emil" books recently (ideally to kids). Which two would you rate as the best.
These are the books that appear to be translated into English:
1) Emil and the Bad Tooth - När Emil skulle dra ut Linas tand
2) Emil and His Clever Pig - Emil och griseknoen
3) Emil Gets into Mischief
4) Emil in the Soup Tureen - Emil och soppskålen
5) Emil's Little Sister - När lilla Ida skulle göra hyss (novell)
6) Emil's Pranks
7) Emil's Sticky Problem
Unfortunately it's hard to tally the books up with the Swedish titles. Many of the sites I look at to cross reference are contracting each other.
