(3) K-3 In this version of Andersen's "The Emperor's New Clothes," the new suit still leaves nothing to the imagination, but the vain emperor, the crafty tailors, and the loyal subjects are all frogs. Lots of amphibian details ("Eat your flies") and humorous pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations (dominated by shades of green) make this a lighthearted, satisfying retelling.
