Abstract

en_US Each pair of pages presents one full page of text and one of colored illustration. In this well executed version of the traditional story, the emperor in love with clothes is a hippopotamus, though the text never mentions that fact. The thieves from a faraway land are a fox and a weasel. Only the wisest people in the land will see this fabric . . . . It will be invisible to fools or those who are unfit for their office. These two tailors are wise enough to tell the king as they measure him that his new suit will feel as light as a spider's web. You might even feel as though you're wearing nothing at all. The tailors hard at work cutting and sewing the air let a befuddled minister know that they need more food because they are working so hard! The emperor rewards the boy who tells him the truth. You risked being called a fool to tell me the truth.
