In a Naked World

Oh it was odd to learn from Dick Van Dyke in a mother's day concert in Thousand Oaks that Dom DeLuise has passed on. He added at the closing curtain that he had just been to the memorial. That the comedian tasked us to find in the moment the joy of living. A redress of the show must go on. I'd just been thinking of trying to find my copy of this story. Clever word play it leads you through the tale of what the king might learn by that naked stroll through his vanities. Reminding me that one function of these tales is gathering an insight without shedding the actually outfit in the public square. DeLuise wrote several cute kid's books. A touching way I learned he's gone to his rest, leaving a book that's pretty good at teaching us to be a tad more "other" aware. Loved the ending. Good read aloud.

King Bob's New Clothes

Our children ranging in age from ages 9-5 laughed and laughed at this book! The illustrations are phenominal. The story is down to earth and funny. I am looking at buying all of Dom's books because this one is so enjoyable- with a moral at the end. A delight for children and adults!
