The Emperor's New Clothes

The Emperor's New Clothes

Description

Two rascally weavers convince the emperor they are making him beautiful new clothes, visible only to those fit for their posts, but when he wears them during a royal procession, a child recognizes that the emperor has nothing on. In this delightfully funny retelling of the classic story, the emperor hires two tailors to make him a new set of elegant and magical clothes - clothes that foolish people will think are invisible! When the emperor parades through town in his fine new clothes, while really just wearing polka-dotted shorts, only a child is willing to speak up and tell the truth.
