  • The Emperor's New Clothes

    Hans Christian Andersen

    eBook
    Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish author best known for writing children's storiesincluding "The Little Mermaid" and "The Ugly Duckling." But he didn't just write short stories, and his intended audience wasn't restricted to children. In addition to his fairy tales, Andersen wrote poems, plays, novels, travel books, essays, and more. He hungered for recognition at home (Denmark) and abroad—and he got it! Eventually. Today, his stories can be read in over one hundred languages. But no matter what language they're in, Andersen's tales have got something for everyone. In them, you'll find beauty, tragedy, nature, religion, artfulness, deception, betrayal, love, death, judgment, penance, and—occasionally—a happy ending. They're complex tales, but since Andersen himself was pretty complex, we like to think that art imitates life. Or something like that. "The Emperor's New Clothes" is a short tale by Hans Christian Andersen about two weavers who promise an Emperor a new suit of clothes that is invisible to those who are unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent. When the Emperor parades before his subjects in his new clothes, no one dares to say that he doesn't see any suit of clothes until a child cries out, "But he isn't wearing anything at all!" The tale has been translated into over a hundred languages. Includes lovely illustrations! Reading books develops your imagination and improves intelligence!

    Fairy Rebus StoriesVolume 1THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHESbyHans Christian AndersenRebus byKen StilesFairy Rebus StoriesThese rebus puzzle stories use little pictures for the sound of some of the words in the story instead of the meaning. For example, when the words be or bee are in the story, a little picture of a bee is used instead. Two sounds in the same word are joined by a plus sign "+". As in, for example, "B+4" for before. With a minus sign "-" take out the sound of the picture or letter. Capital letters sound like they are pronounced in the alphabet. (for example, "Y" for why, "T" for tea or tee, or "C" for see or sea, etc.) Likewise, numbers (for example, "2" for to, too, or two). Two or three pictures in a row stand for the plural of that word. Lowercase letters use a sound other than the way they are pronounced in the alphabet.Consult the glossary if you need help; the answer if completely stuck.Enjoy,Ken Stiles

  • The Emperor's Cool Clothes

    Lee Harper

    language (Two Lions, Feb. 20, 2012)
    The emperor can never find the perfect outfit until he meets the Rogue brothers, who can make clothes so special that only the coolest people are able to see them. But what happens when no one in the emperor’s court can see the clothes-and the emperor can’t either? Is no one cool enough or perhaps...there are no clothes to see? This funny, clever adaptation of the classic Hans Christian Anderson tale is captured by Lee Harper in watercolor and pencil. There is an author’s note about the tale’s origin and Lee’s choice to create an imaginary kingdom where emperor penguins, walruses, albatross, seals, and polar bears all live-and shop-together.The author of The Emperor's Cool Clothes has donated this book to the Worldreader program
