King Albert-Horatio-Otto the Third
had SO many clothes it was simply absurd …
So when two seemingly well-meaning fabric merchants promise to make an outfit of only the very BEST and most special cloth, King Albert-Horatio-Otto the Third simply cannot resist. He MUST have these new clothes! Surely, the unquestionably charitable and not-at-all-suspicious-looking tailors are genuine, and the King won't end up looking red-cheeked … ?
This funny and timely retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fable 'The Emperor's New Clothes' will not only make children laugh, but also encourage them to think and speak up for what they believe.
It's incredibly clever and funny, with amazing illustrations which are as elaborate as the king's majestic wardrobe […] they're absolutely stunning and take the comedy to the next level * Picture Book Snob *
Safe to say everyone in our family has heard about the girls’ new story book ... It is so cleverly written in rhyme and the accompanying illustrations are fantastic!
