But when he is in the ccariage, his money is stolen by a suspicious man. He tried to get back his money in the town.
Then, many little detectives helpes him.they follow the thief,
and an exciting adventure begins!!!
There are many funny scenes,and all children in this story was cute!Especially, Little Tuesday is so cute.
I think they are very brave,clever,and kind.
I'm surprised at The last scene. ( )

This story is very exciting, because Emil and his friends(detectives) are very smart and brave.
And other characters are also atractive.

I like this story very much. ( )

This was my first detective story and it teaches boys all about friendship. ( )

a very nice story and I really felt the atmosphere of Berlin with its traffic and noise. My only reservation is in some aspects of the translation: why convert the money to pounds, shillings and pence? - it would have been better left in Marks and Pfennigs. After all, in an American story one would expect dollars and in an Indian, rupees. And why translate some of the names (like little Tuesday) and not others (Pony Hütchen)?
The cloth used for the binding is beautiful, a subtle grey-brown stripe and very soft to the touch. ( )

While traveling by train to Berlin for a visit with his grandmother and his aunt and her family, young Emil has his money stolen. Emil thinks it almost had to have been Mr. Grundeis, a fellow passenger. He spots him getting off at the Zoological Gardens, and bravely follows him, for he must get his mother's money back! He is soon joined by a group of other children who all work together to track him down. The story is innovative, realistic and absolutly hilarious! ( )
