Kittys Reader Notes & Book Snippet

Kitty's Notes:

Anyone remember 'The Pink Panther' well that favourite 1970's character seems to have been born again in this vintage children's book as a fun, and very vain Emperor.

The silly Emperor is tricked by two mischievous and greedy weavers into believing that he really has bought some invisible cloth.

Even nearly 200 years later this fun story never fails to bring a giggle the first time your child hears it.

And the moral message about greed, and consumption and a fool being easily parted with his money still rings as true today!

Written in simple words and a perfect bedtime story book.


Book Excerpt from "The Emperor's New Clothes":

"Once there was an emperor who loved to dress up in fine clothes. He cared about clothes more than anything else in the world.

The emperor had a different robe for every hour of every day. These robes filled a whole floor of his palace. But still he wanted more..."
