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.
