Trade ReviewEmil and the Three Twins is that very rare thing - a successful sequel * Observer *
Emil's Berlin, and the Baltic resort of its sequel Emil
and the Three Twins, were as vivid to me as Arthur Ransome's English Lakeland -- Philip Pullman * Independent *
This must be one of the most delicious children's books ever written * Daily Express *
So what makes these different to any other set of classics? In a moment of inspiration Random House had the bright idea of actually asking Key stage 2 children what extra ingredients they could add to make children want to read. And does it work? Well, put it this way...my 13-year-old daughter announced that she had to read a book over the summer holiday and, without any prompting, spotted The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas...and proceeded to read it! Now, if you knew my 13-year-old daughter, you would realise that this is quite remarkable. She reads texts, blogs and tags by the thousand - but this is the first book she has read since going to high school, so all hail Vintage Classics! * National Association for the Teaching of English *
