The Emperor's New Clothes

32 pp. | Chronicle | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-8118-4569-9 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alison Jay. Hans Christian Andersen's classic story of a vain emperor who's a clotheshorse--well, in this case, a clothes lion--is retold in sprightly rhyming couplets. The leonine emperor, advised by a tortoise and a hare, is duped by tailors cast as weasels. The crackle-glazed paintings are rendered in warm colors and depict animal figures simultaneously rounded and elongated.
