Bookroo's summary

An emperor, caught in a bizarre spectacle, walks the streets in his underpants. Told from his perspective, this tale unravels the mystery behind his unusual attire, challenging perceptions and revealing hidden truths. What led to this royal embarrassment, and what lessons lie beneath the surface?

From the publisher

Why on earth would an emperor walk down the street in his underpants? This first-person narrative provides readers with the answer – directly from the emperor himself – while subtly teaching about point of view and supporting curriculum standards.
