Books with title Emperors New Clothes

Sometimes people are willingly dishonest rather than risking embarrassment. Such is the case in this whimsical rendition of Hans Christian Andersens classic tale. Excessive fondness for elaborate and expensive clothing allows a pair of dodgy tailors to hoodwink the emperor. Weaving a grandiose tale instead of actual clothing, the tailors tell the emperor that their exquisite garments, woven with the finest of materials, are invisible to less worthy individuals. Reluctant to admit possible imperfections, no one in the town is willing to be honest, with the exception of one small boy. The conclusion of this tale extends beyond that of the original, shedding light on the benefits that come from always telling the truth.

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
