A new twist on an old favorite

You wouldn't think that dinosaurs would have any place in the classic Andersen tale, but indeed, this retelling of The Emperor's New Clothes is wonderful. By just reading the text, there is no indication that this version features dinousaurs - this speaks to the creativity of the illustrator, Diane Goode. What pictures! They really make the story come alive. A fun book for those new to the story, and for those who enjoy fresh perspectives.
