Bookroo's summary
In a whimsical kingdom of penguins and polar bears, an emperor seeks the perfect outfit. The Rogue brothers promise clothes only the coolest can see. But when no one, including the emperor, sees them, is it a fashion statement or a clever ruse? Dive into this playful twist on a classic tale where appearances deceive and truth is hilariously revealed.
From the publisher
The emperor can never find the perfect outfit until he meets the Rogue brothers, who can make clothes so special that only the coolest people are able to see them. But what happens when no one in the emperor’s court can see the clothes-and the emperor can’t either? Is no one cool enough or perhaps…there are no clothes to see? This funny, clever adaptation of the classic Hans Christian Anderson tale is captured by Lee Harper in watercolor and pencil. There is an author’s note about the tale’s origin and Lee’s choice to create an imaginary kingdom where emperor penguins, walruses, albatross, seals, and polar bears all live-and shop-together.The author of The Emperor’s Cool Clothes has donated this book to the Worldreader program
