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 was funny and it is amazing. The type of the story has a different style. And it is designed, organized so well. It is great.

I thought this book was really funny. My favourite bit was when the King had his bare bum out! This book showed me that you shouldn't pretend to be cleverer than you are, you'll always get caught out!
