Emil of Lönneberga is a series with stories about how it is to grow up, and just to follow your own opinions, and these opinions can be in conflict with adult people and older people. So, what should be done to make your behavior be acceptable for everyone? Obedience to authority, and to follow the majority and going the normal steps and patterns, that is the ways we believe in growing up today.

Emil of Lönneberga is an example of how you organize your life, when just thinking alone, and with doing both strange and expected behavior. These books are written by the famous author Astrid Lindgren from Sweden. We have the parents there to get information and advice about how to cope with the life as you were given from nature and from your biological parents. And in life, you can determine yourself whether you want to believe in a religion or not. Life is about recognizing oneself and one's surroundings, and we are needing parents, friends and unknown people to take care of life, and to think and feel in ways that are welcome by many people.

Emil of Lönneberga is a rakker kid, and he does just wrong things, or things that are not desirable from the majority. Life is normal in many ways, although we can be extreme in behavior and in intelligence. But the normal curve in statistics includes everyone, and we should do as we are told to, if we not just think that we can think better thoughts!

So, in many instances, also in powerful positions, we can do as it is accepted, or we can be innovative and do things in better and stronger and more confident ways that are not thought about. We can also do things in wrong ways, or in more badly ways than expectations. And it is this last kind of incidences that there are reactions upon, and we should not do stupid things, and do things in manners that imply many reactions, also from working mates.

Ok, what is really all the books that are written about Emil of Lönneberga really about? Emil Svensson is a blonde boy at 6 years old, and he lives together with his little sister Ida, his family and their laborers at the farm “Katthult” in the village Lönnerberga in Smaaland in Sweden first during some years of the 1900s. The book is about the farm life and Emil’s inventions and kind-hearted pranks. And these kinds of pranks are done, and you can do many pranks on your family and on your friends, but the main things are that Emil is doing these things with a good intention, although there are reactions from time to time with what he is thinking, believing, feeling and acting. When acting, we should act in such ways that everyone can accept it, and feel that the behavior in question is defendable by everyone.

There are many books in the series of Emil of Lönneberga, and they are funny and interesting and exciting, and you should read them when thinking that life is about how you understand yourself and your environments, and that you determine your life in the ways you are perceiving and constituting what is happening. And you can remember what you want, and you can forget somethings, and all things are about understanding, memory and cognition with your human brain and with your human heart. What are some of the books about Emil? They are for instance: “Emil’s Pranks”, “Emil and the Great Escape”, “Emil’s Clever Pig”, “That boy Emil”, “Emil and His Clever Pig”, “Emil and The Sneaky Rat” and “Emil in the Soup Tureen”. You also find Emil of Lönneberga in books with pictures and also in films. And maybe, you also find some other new variants of Emil in the modern societies we are living within nowadays.

So, what behavior does Emil of Lönneberga do to us that are reading and thinking? For instance his little sister Ida is hoisted up in a flagpole. The father to Emil becomes furious and chases the son. And his father screams: “EEEEEEMIIIL, your cruel kid!”. And after that Emil locks himself inside in the carpenter building. And this is an example of the strange and mischievous things that Emil of Lönneberga did. And there are enough books to enjoy and to get yourself a smile and a good laughter! Emil is doing several boy jokes in these books.
