This version of the Andersen classic is a treat from the front cover with its title lettering fashioned from articles of clothing, to the last page showing the nude king, cheeks aglow, receding into the distance. The king has clothes to play in, clothes to look handsome in, clothes to look super in, clothes to look brave in and clothes to look smart in, and the author/illustrator has great fun unleashing her imagination on the vast wardrobe and the various characters in the story.
