(4) K-3 Fairy Tales Today series. Illustrated by Erica Jane Waters. In this recasting of Andersen's tale, dance class bully Emma always gets her way until a new student promises her a magnificent tutu visible only to "amazing dancers." Of course, no one wants to admit they can't see the tutu. While true to the story's origins, Emma doesn't get to redeem herself, which is unfortunate in this context. Friendly illustrations play out the drama.
