- Abstract
- en_US This booklet is about 8¾" square. Its 36 pages are unpaginated. Rhyming quatrains on each left-hand page correspond to full-page colored illustrations on right-hand pages. The booklet gets off to a great start by using a mirror scene on the cover. In this scene, the king clad only in lower underwear looks into the mirror and sees himself in noble garments and a crown. Adler characterizes the emperor early as "not too smart." The crooked tailors promise this selfish king "a suit that dumb folks can't see." The king thinks of a plan to test all his workers: "If they can see it they'll keep working here, if not, well, they'll all be out on their ear!" The best illustration may be the illustration of the gala parade with the king in crown and shorts. The finger-pointing "whistle-blowing" child on the next page is wonderfully portrayed! In this version, the king responds to everyone's laughing by blushing, running away, and commanding the capture of the swindlers, who have already disappeared. The king doesn't emerge from his castle for more than a year, "but at least he'd learned a lesson most dear." Simple art, perhaps computer generated.
