    <![CDATA[Originally published in 1929, Erich Kastner's engaging tale has delighted readers young and old, for generations. It's Emil's first train ride alone and he's excited, and a little nervous.On the train, his fellow passengers are impressed with how polite and grown-up Emil is, and the man  in the bowler hat offers him some chocolate&#151;but Emil keeps checking his coat pocket, where he's pinned the money that he is taking to his grandmother. Soon, though, Emil  finds himself getting sleepy . . . and the next thing he knows, the man in the bowler hat is gone&#151; and so is the money! With the help of some new friends Emil becomes a detective and tracks the  thief through the city. With its enduring themes of leadership, courage, and teamwork, there are  many lessons to be learned by the grownups and the children, alike, and the delightful  illustrations by Walter Trier make this rollicking, heartwarming tale come alive. AUTHOR BIO: Erich Kastner (1899-1974) was one of the best-known international children's authors of the twentieth century and was awarded the American Library Association Mildred L.  Batchelder Award and the Hans Christian Andersen Award. Emil and the Detectives was his first  book and he was also the author of The Little Man,The Flying Classroom, and Lisa and Lottie,  among others. Walter Trier was the celebrated illustrator of many children's books. He illustrated  several other of Erich Kastner's children's books, including The Flying Classroom, Emil and the  Three Twins, and Lisa and Lottie, among others.]]>
