This is a cutting edge, very modern retelling of The Emperor's New Clothes. The pictures and text are bright, colorful and edgy. The Emperor hands over a platinum card to pay for his cool new clothes and the tailors (the Rogue Brothers) take his money and buy things on the internet. Funny, colorful - the kids at storytime loved the pictures. I really liked this book until the very last page...where nothing happens in spite of a little girl in the crowd pointing out that the emperor is naked. Whe...more
This modern retake on the classic tail of Hans Christian Anderson's The Emperors Clothes was a miss to me. The characters looked like dorks. This is probably because that is the way I feel about how most teenagers/young adults dress nowadays. And yes I am fully aware that statement puts me in to the "old" category. However it does not mean I am wrong. The Walrus in the book wore those god awful pants that people sport that have their back side hanging out> Pants that reach the ankles more tha...more
Relentlessly "modern" version of The Emperor's New Clothes. Updating the rascals' goofing off to shopping on "Seabay" and eating McDonald's and Starbucks take out makes the fact that they still are weaving invisible silk on invisible looms really inexplicable. I did like the hip-hop outfit on the cover, and the really long Chucks on the walrus' feet.
This cool version of "Emperor's New Clothes" has short enough text and big enough art to share with a young crowd. Works for the Common Core State Standard for kindergarten of Integration of Knowledge and Ideas when compared with another version, like the retelling by Marcus Sedgewick and illustrated by Alison Jay.
preschool story time; narrative skills, phonological awareness, print motivation, speech bubbles.

A cute update of the Hans Christian Anderson tale. Ends a bit abruptly but illustrations make it entertaining.
Unessential remake.
Funny way to update the classic. I am a sucker for puns so I really enjoyed them along the way. Not a fan of the ending - it was kind of meh.

One of the better takes on this story that I've seen. I like the Emperor's entourage.
