Synopsis

We set a challenge before two Veritas Press artists to craft a picture book suitable for Hans Christian Anderson's classic yarn of vanity and pride. Just wait until you see what they came up with! Their retelling sets rogues in outlandish medieval garb to act out the story against a kaleidoscope of crazy patterns of cloth.

About this title

From the Publisher:

About Little Pebbles: This charming series retells classic fairy tales with bright illustrations and a clever tone. The stories in the Little Pebbles series have been adapted for children today while respecting the richness and flavor of the original versions. The small size of the books and their warm, inviting illustrations will appeal to children, who will also love the game page at the end of each book and will want to read all the books in the series.

From the Inside Flap:

"I love clothes," cries the Emperor, and he's not kidding. He doesn't care a fig for anything or anybody else--he doesn't have to, he's the Emperor. What a spoiled pig! He's so vain and stuck-up that he's the perfect target for two sly swindlers, who weave him a suit of clothes no one will ever forget--especially not the Emperor!
