Product Description Illustrated by the beloved creator of Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, The Little House, and Katy and the Big Snow, here is a delightful version of the tale that boys and girls have loved for centuries. The Emperor himself, his court, and his clothes—or lack of them—are ridiculous as only the master storyteller Hans Christian Andersen can make them. Fifty-five years ago, Virginia Lee Burton added to this tale of fun her own irrepressible humor in pictures and design. This brilliant new edition features Burton"s original illustrations photographed anew, freshly exhibiting her lively concoction of remarkable spirit and beauty.
A Wonderful Way To Read With Your ChildSeptember 30, 1999 12 out of 13 found this review helpful
The format of this book and the others like them give a young reader a very enjoyable experience. The adult side helps to embellish the story but the children's side lets a new reader be part of the story not just a listener. Our first grader takes great pride in his part of the book and seems to have better comprehension. These are a great find.
I really was pleased with it, and so was my little sister.January 19, 1998 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

A Very Good RetellingApril 21, 2005 Lynn Ellingwood(Webster, NY United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The emperor has no clothes but don't tell anyone else about it. You may be stupid or unfit for your position. This book has great illustrations and a great retelling. Highly recommended.
Classic tale has taken a new twist.September 16, 1997 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Anderson's classic tale of the Emperor has taken a new twist with an elegance never before found in art work. The setting has changed to the early 1900's with cars, planes, pet dogs as part of royalty. I think it will appeal to a mature audiance. One could browse the pages as if they were a museum.
The dogs are a marvelous touch. Looking under a stand-up mirror is an adorable belly-up dog watching the emperor as he puts on his magnificant clothes. All one sees of the emperor at this point are two bare feet. Two pups are gleefully making off with the emperor's cocks.
Helped my son to readJanuary 20, 2002 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I had been given 2 of these books from a friend and I decided to see if there were anymore. My son loves this book. He's now working on reading the adult side. It's a great idea to have a page each, 1 for the adult and 1 for the child. We have several of these books now and I see my son sitting down and reading them on his own.
