Summary: The Emperor Penguin's New Clothes
Review: This is a very cute re-telling of the classic fairy tale The Emperor's New Clothes. Two scoundrels come into town saying they can make cloth that can't be seen by the dishonest and simpleminded when they really can't do anything of the sort. They trick the emperor into buying a suit of clothes of this imaginary cloth. Emperor wears the suit in a parade and gets heartily embarrassed when it is pointed out that he has nothing on.What makes this story unique is the use of penguins and the wonderful illustrations that are also bold and colorful. I never get tiered of seeing all the neat clothes that the penguins wear, from capes with fringe to billowing skirts, to sailor boy costumes, to clown suits. Also seeing penguins with hair and moustaches is really very cute. This author also wrote another book using the penguin idea. It is called 'Cinderella Penguin or, the Little Glass Flipper'.

Summary: A cute joke spinoff
Review: This retelling of the famous fairy tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes" has a joke. I guess the author picked a penguin for this story for two reasons: 1)because of the species of penguin called an emperor penguin and 2)because there is a famous joke that penguins never need new clothes because of the, "tuxedo" they supposedly wear. So in response to the quote that the emperor "had no clothes" I guess he actually did have on the "tuxedo" that penguins are said to wear.
