Horn Book (Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2015)

Emperor Penguin is very vain, so when Killer Whale sells him a new suit that can't be seen by foolish birds, it takes a child penguin to point out the obvious. The Antarctic twist adds little to this lackluster retelling of Andersen's tale, but Beacon's cartoonish paintings of scarf-clad penguins are mildly entertaining. An appended note details the story's history.

In Animal Fairy Tales, beautiful illustrations and simple text retell classic fairy tales with a twist: all the characters are animals! This book, a retelling of The Emperor's New Clothes, tells the story of an emperor penguin who thinks he has a new outfit that only he can see, but who ends up feeling rather cold and silly!
