What is Emil's clever pig about?

At Katthult farm, Emil’s good ideas often turn into hilarious disasters. He teaches his pet pig to dance, gets chased by a furious cow, wrestles with a robber and causes chaos wherever he goes. Although adults may think he is naughty, Emil never means to cause trouble. With animals, siblings and friends caught up in his adventures, each day brings a new escapade. These lively stories follow a lovable, mischievous boy whose heart is always in the right place.
