There's a rat running amok in Emil's house, and he's determined to capture it. But hiding the rat trap just under his father's bed probably isn't ideal. That's just the start of Emil's adventures, which, once begun, never stop. Hens, dogs, little sisters and adults all flee his path. But Emil doesn't mean to be bad, it's just that trouble and fun follow him wherever he goes.A collection of utterly engaging tales from one of the world's best-loved children's authors.
